BT is connected to an UART (not i2c). The DTB needs to configure
this (and you want to configure the full UART for it and use the
mini UART for the console).

In /etc/bluetooth/btattach.conf you configure the device and
the device will be attached.

There are problems with that device and bluetooth in general.
If you want to experiment, it helps to use btattach from
-current so that you can at least retry without reboot.
