In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/rfkill-gpio.yaml shutdown-gpios 
is listed as a required property, did you try building the sources with 
CHECK_DTBS=1 in make arguments?

If you already control this GPIO from elsewhere (such as from the 
bluetooth driver), then perhaps you don't need to define a separate 
rfkill device at all.

After I connected a BT device to Edge2, I input rfkill block 1, bluetooth function failed. Then I input rfkill unblock 1, it can rework. So at last I only configure the bt_reset_pin.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the hardware gets an rfkill signal, 
what you describe above could also come from the software alone. It 
would be great to somehow check if the physical pin state gets triggered 
once you switch rfkill state from userspace, and then that the bluetooth 
device handles it appropriately (e.g. gets into a hardware-disable state 
somehow).
