Bluetooth not working

EDIT : after rebooting has the problem appeared again, it doesn't seem like it's related to arch update. I'll .keep looking

Hello,

I've noticed that bluetooth stopped working efter the latest kernel update today (7.2.15.arch1-1 -> 7.3.4.arch1-1).
- no controller was detected according to bluetoothctl list
- rfkill output was normal
- reloading btusb with modprobe didn't solve it
- journalctl was showing the following errors on boot

2026-11-13T19:14:21.763931+01:00 systemd[475]: Reached target Bluetooth.
2026-11-13T19:14:21.765462+01:00 systemd[1]: Reached target Bluetooth Support.
2026-11-13T19:14:23.824852+01:00 kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
2026-11-13T19:14:23.825091+01:00 kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)

And this is my bluetooth-controller:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:8290 Apple, Inc. Bluetooth Host Controller 

I've downgraded arch to the previous release and it's now working again, and it seems that this person (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=300249) had the same problem on an older release.

I'm a beginner, so here are the questions:
- Should I wait for the next release and eventually report it somewhere or
- Should I try another way to fix it ?

I can reproduce the error by upgrading again if needed for extra log.

Thank you !
