I am having trouble making Bluetooth working on my Dell XPS 13. Under kernel 3.19 I managed to get it working by using the firmware from the Windows driver (see here).
For various reasons I had to upgrade to a 4.x kernel version. Now Bluetooth is not working anymore even with the previous workaround.
The Bluetooth card is a Broadcom 216F BT.

The output of dmesg | egrep -i 'firm|blue'
is

EDIT 1 : After running :
sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-216f.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-216f.hcd
Bluetooth seem broken and dmesg | egrep -i 'firm|blue'
output :
[ 4.257018] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0a0a tx timeout

Any idea or any solution to make Bluetooth work here ?
Thanks in advance.
For future references I have a Dell XPS 13 9353 (2015)
If you already installed the firmware according to the link in your question, just rename the file.
It looks like the new kernel module is looking for another file. But firmware is the same.
If you want to use older kernels too, run
instead. It will keep both files.
