Bluetooth soft blocked after resume from suspend with Intel AC 9260

I own a Lenovo Z50-70 laptop, with a Wireless card Intel-AC 9260, which is not the original one for this model, I replaced it.

I have an issue with bluetooth, many times, when I resume from suspend, it is softblocked.
By issuing rfkill I obtain:

$ rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE                 SOFT      HARD
 0 wlan      ideapad_wlan      unblocked unblocked
 1 bluetooth ideapad_bluetooth unblocked unblocked
 3 wlan      phy0              unblocked unblocked
 8 bluetooth hci0              blocked unblocked

The device of interest is hci0. Everytime the issue happens the ID is incremented.

Issuing

rfkill unblock 8

reactivates the bluetooth, until the next resume.

I can't figure out what causes the problem, I tried with the kernels linux-lts, linux and linux-zen, nothing changes with any of them.

What can I do to prevent bluetooth from softblocking? I thought about workarounds like reactivating it with a systemd resume service hook, but I'd like to keep it as a last resort.

Thanks in advance for the help.
