grep told me that hci_h4p is used only in these (text) files:

* /etc/modprobe.d/maemo.conf
   alias platform:hci_h4p hci_h4p

So this is not needed if kernel driver contains correct 
MODULE_ALIAS macro.

* /etc/event.d/bluetooth-sysinfo
   echo ... > /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr

This upstart script contains code for reading mac address from 
special sysinfod daemon and setting it to kernel driver. Once 
there will be uniform way for setting mac address that script can 
be changed.

So I think that renaming module will not break anything if kernel 
module will get (somehow) correct mac address (or if random one 
is acceptable).
