In the meantime I successfully installed Linux-libre kernel version 5.3 from https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ – Unfortunately, my onboard Bluetooth adapter is still not usable.

I identified the onboard adapter as

Device 'Bluetooth Device'
ID      USB 0489:e04e
Class   e0-01-01
Type    bluetooth
Vendor  Foxconn / Hon Hai
Name    Bluetooth Device

They say this Bluetooth device should be supported by mainline kernel versions 3.2 and newer. I confirm that I have the needed kernel modules ath3k and btusb both loaded. But I cannot say if its support was removed from Linux-libre kernel.

So I still have to use an external USB Bluetooth adapter… Pity :-(
