Bug#916798: Acknowledgement (firmware-iwlwifi 20180825+dfsg-1 breaks bluetooth on Intel 8265)

[Vroomfondel]

I've just upgraded to the latest firmware-iwlwifi_20190114-1_all.deb and I can 
confirm that the problem with bluetooth on the 8265 is now fixed so this bug 
report can be closed from my point of view.


Thanks.

P.S. Incidentally, the e91976c0 firmware for the wifi I was using previously 
also fixed all of the problems I was having with my wifi connection in earlier 
versions - even to the extent I no longer needed to specify any special options 
(mostly 11n_disable=1 and bt_coex_active=0 to attain a semi-reliable 
connection). I'll commence testing with the newer 9f0a2d68 version included in 
this release and make good on my threat to open a separate bug report if I run 
into any further problems.

Had some time for some manual tweaking on this today, so on a whim I wanted to 
see if the latest firmware from the kernel git repo worked.

Currently with:
a) the current bluetooth firmware from firmware-iwlwifi 20180518-1
b) the latest iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode from the kernel git (36.9f0a2d68.0 
according to dmesg)

...I can confirm that the bluetooth firmware loads and the adapter works 
correctly. With the version included in 20180825+dfsg-1 (36.e91976c0.0 
according to the changelog), the bluetooth firmware fails to load as per my 
original report.

At the moment I've no idea which of the firmware files inside 
/lib/firmware/intel correspond to the bluetooth firmware for this chip so I've 
left those alone for the time being.
