Right, I see this addresses all instances. I tried another thing
and this also seems to address them for me:

--- a/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c
+++ b/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c
@@ -3273,7 +3273,7 @@ static void hci_conn_request_evt(struct hci_dev *hdev, void *data,

- if (!bacmp(&hdev->bdaddr, &ev->bdaddr)) {
+ if (hdev && !bacmp(&hdev->bdaddr, &ev->bdaddr)) {
bt_dev_dbg(hdev, "Reject connection with same BD_ADDR %pMR\n",
&ev->bdaddr);
hci_reject_conn(hdev, &ev->bdaddr);

and also this one does the trick:

--- a/include/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.h
+++ b/include/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.h
@@ -266,7 +266,7 @@ void bt_err_ratelimited(const char *fmt, ...);

+#define bt_dev_name(hdev) ((hdev)->name)

#define bt_dev_info(hdev, fmt, ...) \
BT_INFO("%s: " fmt, bt_dev_name(hdev), ##__VA_ARGS__)

So what is actually going on is that the bt_dev_dbg() introduces
the idea that hdev might be NULL because of the check.
