On my system it typically reproduces within a few dozen
iterations. Make sure your tree doesn't contain any custom BT patches,
even if they just add logging or fix the timeout during
initialization. Since this problem is timing sensitive it might get
masked. My tree is based on 4.19 LTS with all QCA BT related changes
on top: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/refs/heads/chromeos-4.19

I found some problems during initialization easier to reproduce
when binding and unbinding the device through sysfs, instead of
doing hciconfig up/down, this resembles more the initialization at
boot time.
