It looks like it sees the blue-tooth module, but just isn't installing the right combination of driver module and firmware for the device.
My guess is that this is a laptop with an integrated Broadcom Wifi/Blue-tooth module. I've had similar issues (including on the machine that I'm typing this on...). The solution is to use the proprietary Broadcom driver module appropriate to your Wifi/Blue-tooth module, rather than the open source one, and to download and install the appropriate firmware for it (that can be somewhat tricky,... & VERY model specific).

You need to do a search for the specific blue-tooth ID for that part (ID'd as: 0a5c). Do a search for Linux firmware, that ID, and probably; PPA, to get search results for people with similar problems.
Broadcom will build Wifi/BT modules with varying part IDs & with little documentation, leaving Linux people to sort out the stuff for ourselves. Sometimes you have to rip the firmware from the Windows driver, and rename the file. I managed to get mine working, but it was months ago, so I forgot the exact process and where I got the files... Sorry.
