Title: The Bluetooth of DW1707 doesn't work. [0cf3:e005] Atheros Communications, Inc.

Summary: The Bluetooth of DW1707 doesn't work. [0cf3:e005] Atheros Communications, Inc.

Steps:
1. Install 3.5.0-43#66 kernel and boot into OS
2. Execute `hcitool scan` when there are some Bluetooth devices around.

Expected results: The output of `hcitool scan` should find some devices.

Actual results: There is no device at all.

[AceLan Kao (acelankao)]

In kernel changelog, it shows
linux-lts-quantal (3.5.0-43.66~precise1) precise; urgency=low
  * Bluetooth: Add a new PID/VID 0cf3/e005 for AR3012.
    - LP: #1241093
So, the device is supported by kernel 3.5.0-43.66,
but actually it lacks of the required firmwares.
