Atheros BT devices(ath3k) fail to work on USB3.0 buses

[Adam Lee]

Atheros BT devices(ath3k) fail to work on USB3.0 buses, but work well on USB 2.0

  1. BT devices will disappear from USB3.0 buses.
  2. BT devices can be found on USB3.0 buses, but can not be found by hciconfig.
  3. There are FW loading error messages in dmesg with USB3.0.
