You have a trailing whitespace here.

Does the HCI command really expect the BD_ADDR in the swapped order. The caller of hdev->set_bdaddr while provide it in the same order as the HCI Read BD Address command and everything in HCI. So it seems odd that you have to swap it for the vendor command.

So have you actually tested this with btmgmt public-add <xx:xx..> and checked that the address comes out correctly. I think ll_set_bdaddr should function correctly for the mgmt interface. And if needed any other caller outside of mgmt has to do the swapping.

Regards
