The AF_BLUETOOTH socket type lacks support for specifying CID and address type in sockaddr_l2. These structure members have been present since 2009 and 2012 respectively:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=3de95535
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=ba801fcd
The current version of the full structure can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/lib/l2cap.h?id=1b9e48f4#n40
The Python code in question can be found here:

AF_BLUETOOTH also lacks support for hci_channel in sockaddr_hci for BTPROTO_HCI sockets:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/lib/hci.h?h=5.37#n2340
This feature has been present in BlueZ since 2010:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=12d02e7f
(Note that the latest BlueZ release includes a total of five different channels that should be supported)

CID and address type were added in #129288.

TODO: add support for hci_channel in sockaddr_hci for BTPROTO_HCI sockets.
The code will be complicated, because currently only a single bytes/int value is accepted as an address, not a tuple. See also #69232.

Note that there were bugs in support of BTPROTO_HCI sockets.
