But script works fine if hcitool command is placed before
reinitialisation:

--- /usr/bin/bthelper ---
# Route SCO packets to the HCI interface (enables HFP/HSP)
/usr/bin/hcitool -i $dev cmd 0x3f 0x1c 0x01 0x02 0x00 0x01 0x01 > /dev/null

# Force reinitialisation to allow extra features such as Secure Simple Pairing
# to be enabled
/usr/bin/bluetoothctl power off
/usr/bin/bluetoothctl power on
