HI, I think Bluez is a official Blue tooth stack from kernel.org, If it is the case then it should work without any issues, just now I checked for Bluez , it is official which mean default all kernels downloaded from kernel.orgwill come with bluez , so why there is a chaos in compatibility when it comes to android porting?
