I had no idea how to proceed either. Since @jmaxou sugested that we could edit the source code, and I couldnt see where this source were, I assumed it could be get from the .deb file. I searched how to do it from the deb package. Turned out its like a zip, we can extract its contents. I got the last deb package, the one built to kernel 4.8, depacked, edited and repacked. this site shows how to do it https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138188/easily-unpack-deb-edit-postinst-and-repack-deb actually is pretty simple. If I understood well, it should be packed using the kernel you want to target. But I can be wrong in this point Sorry if I cant be of more help, first time doing it as well. Anyway, anybody knows how can we make those fixes to be part of ubuntu itself? Tired of the bluetooth not working each update
