Subject: Re: [PATCH] bluetooth:Fix variable assignment for internal function returns in the function l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd

this patch is wrong. Please try to understand on how L2CAP works and look up what the caller of l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd does with the return code. Responses can not cause another command reject.
