It looks like hcidump is no longer supported:

This marks the following tools as deprecated as they are not longer
maintained or have been replaced by other tools: hciattach hciconfig
hcitool hcidump rfcomm sdptool ciptool gatttool

Otoh; perhaps if you rebuild the PKG with the appropriate flags you
