My hardware use RTL8821AE for bluetooth failed. 
After move the rtl8821aefw.bin+rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin from /system/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ into /system/lib/firmware, it works!

Just check the kernel driver. In
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/sw.c
it explicitly says the firmware path:

line 246:
rtlpriv->cfg->fw_name = "rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin";

line 456:
MODULE_FIRMWARE("rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin");

and line 106
fw_name = "rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin";

I don't see why /system/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ failed.

Could it be falling back to a generic driver because it can't find the files it is looking for in that path?

Please check in device/generic/common/firmware/
