At the time of writing, Raspian is running Linux kernel 4.1.19 that has a bug in the bluetooth driver for Sony DualShock 4 controllers with newer firmware. Kernels as of 4.5rc1 have the fix. Until Raspian kernel packages catch up the solutions I can see are to backport this fix by patching and compiling a custom 4.1.x kernel or just running a DS4 of an older firmware.

Info on the driver fix is here:
