[Fix]

Kernel fixes:
* 995d948cf2e4 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Return error code when getting patch status
  failed")
* 00c0ee9850b7 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Handle download_firmware failure cases")

And firmware:
* 948cad200e94 ("linux-firmware: update frimware for mediatek bluetooth
  chip (MT7921)")

[Test Case]

Run checkbox reboot stress tests to try trigger this issue:

  $ checkbox-cli run com.canonical.certification::stress/reboot

[Where problems could occur]

This imports fixes requiring both kernel driver and proprietary firmware
updates, the firmware part might cause instability or so.

[Other Info]

These patches are currently in bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git, and therefore
not yet available to any Ubuntu kernel. Nominated for all >= 5.13.
