Bluetooth dongle doesn't have address and cannot be enabled

Hi to everyone!!!

I'm trying to fix a problem regarding the functionality of my bluetooth dongle BCM2035:

0a5c:2035 Broadcom Corp. BCM2035 Bluetooth

but when I see the services running, I have the notification that is no address for index 0:

sudo systemctl status bluetooth
  bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Wed 2020-04-15 23:38:21 CDT; 31min ago
       Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
   Main PID: 8408 (bluetoothd)
     Status: "Running"
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 3563)
     Memory: 1.8M
     CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service
             └─8408 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd

abr 15 23:38:20 r4774709 systemd[1]: Starting Bluetooth service...
abr 15 23:38:21 r4774709 bluetoothd[8408]: Bluetooth daemon 5.54

abr 15 23:38:21 r4774709 bluetoothd[8408]: No Bluetooth address for index 0

this is the output from rfkill:

sudo rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

when I try to power on the bluetooth:

sudo hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Cannot assign requested address (99)

dmesg output (again without address addr=?):

dmesg | grep blue
[  305.858909] audit: type=1130 audit(1587011901.103:46): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=bluetooth comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success'

bluetoothctl doesn't detect any device

bluetoothctl 
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available

has anyone else experienced this (or a similar) issue or knows how to debug it further?
