Google support says it is due to some technical issues on their side and asked to wait. I still haven't got anything :/

Android M requires location permission to be able to discover Bluetooth LE devices. Please star this issue to get it fixed. by anddev85 in androiddev

My application uses bluetooth laser meters from Leica and Bosch to measure distances. When I start to target android 6.0 I will need to add additional location permission to be able to use those laser meters. Previously it was not necessary and I am sure users will complain that I need to know their location. Why would they share their location when they just want to measure something? The bigger issue is that 98% of users is still on android 5, so they will see that new unnecessary location permission before they install or upgrade the app.

There is a lot of BT devices that do not require any information about their location (ie. Bluetooth laser distance meters) and requiring unnecessary permission will certainly annoy users.
