I was able to solve the problem. Additional change has to be made in frameworks/base/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml :

test@test-ubuntu:~/android_aosp/frameworks/base$ git diff core/res/AndroidManifest.xml
diff --git a/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml b/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml
index 4b1c534..a4ba0b5 100644

     <permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_STACK"
         android:protectionLevel="signature" />

+    <!-- Allows applications to access files in xyz group.

+    <permission android:name="android.permission.XYZ"
+        android:protectionLevel="normal" />

After that need to execute make update-api and then build the full Android again
