UPDATE:

RTL8723D Bluetooth Firmware is available in Linux firmware git directory as committed by Larry Fingers (rtlwifi-new) :

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=6d5131107f2ba...

Firmware file names:

/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723d_fw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723d_config.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723defw.bin

You have to git clone the directory to get the firmware  and place the specific rtl8723d firmware  in /lib/firmware/rtl_bt folder.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

But, unfortunately, for my laptop HP 15-BS576TX, adding the firmwares to the /lib/firmware/rtl_bt did not help. The /var/log/kern.log suggests Bluetooth for this model seeks rtl8723B firmware? It is confusing and I get no help from rtlwifi-new maintaner too.

I think, HP should clear this problem regarding Bluetooth not working with RTL8723D in Linux. I have honestly, not any idea how to progress beyond this far.

Wifi works (HP-15bs029ng). RTL8723de / Bluetooth does work with kernel 4.17-rc2 Problem-free

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't tried 4.17-rc kernel yet. But, it seems like some commit was made long back which is carried only in 4.17 kernel. Will try 4.17 soon.

Yes! Now RTL8723DE is fully supported in Linux. Here is the dmesg log from my HP 15-BS576TX laptop. Make sure you have the needed firmware in the firmware directory:
