there is no need to fix this. Remove the patch and everything is fine. The device will present itself as HID mouse and keyboard on bootup and you can switch into full Bluetooth HCI mode with the hid2hci tool. If people don't like to have it bootup in HID mode, it is possible to use the pskey tool to change this.
