Hi Howard,

while this looks good, I like to optimize this to only look up the LTK when needed.

	/* comment here */
	if (smp->method != JUST_WORKS)
		goto mackey_and_ltk;


	/* and command here */
	if (hci_find_ltk()) {
		mgmt_user_confirm_request()
		..
	}

And my preference that we also get an Ack from Johan or Luiz that double checked that this is fine.
