ok this is stupid. It's working. The device was just switched off. rfkill said it's neither soft nor hardblocked, so I thought everything was fine! The hardware-switch was switched on so I thought it should work. Still, there is a fn+f5 combination which was needed to power the device, despite the fact that in bluetooth/main.conf "remember last state" was on false and "power on on boot" was true.

This applies to at least BCM20702 and BCM43142. Although some of the devices have an OTPROM that contains required firmware, but it is found that these devices would not have HFP/HSP support unless a upgraded firmware is loaded via patchram uploader. This tool requires hci device to do the firmware loading, but this may cause some race condition between patchram tool and bluetoothd or something that also works on hci interface. Also it needs some hooks to make firmware loads after bootup, s3, s4, rfkill, and device hotplug events. Implement this loader in kernel module would make things more easier.
