You could also mention that scanning must be active while turning off
for this bug to be hit.

Typo: turned

Checked the vendor driver - I see what you are referring to, so the
change seems correct.

#if HCI_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 7, 1)
    if (!reset)
        set_bit(HCI_QUIRK_RESET_ON_CLOSE, &hdev->quirks);
    RTKBT_DBG("set_bit(HCI_QUIRK_RESET_ON_CLOSE, &hdev->quirks);");
#endif

However I'm pretty sure this is not saying that kernel 3.7.0 did not
need the reset. I think it just means that the flag did not exist
before Linux-3.7.1, so they added the ifdef to add some level of
compatibility with older kernel versions. I think you can remove
"since kernel v3.7.1." from the comment.

After those changes you can add:
