Subject: Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Allow scannable adv with extended MGMT APIs

Hi Daniel,

> An issue was found, where if a bluetooth client requests a broadcast
> advertisement with scan response data, it will not be properly
> registered with the controller. This is because at the time that the
> hci_cp_le_set_scan_param structure is created, the scan response will
> not yet have been received since it comes in a second MGMT call. With
> empty scan response, the request defaults to a non-scannable PDU type.
> On some controllers, the subsequent scan response request will fail due
> to incorrect PDU type, and others will succeed and not use the scan
> response.
> 
> This fix allows the advertising parameters MGMT call to include a flag
> to let the kernel know whether a scan response will be coming, so that
> the correct PDU type is used in the first place. A bluetoothd change is
> also incoming to take advantage of it.
> 
> To test this, I created a broadcast advertisement with scan response
> data and registered it on the hatch chromebook. Without this change, the
> request fails, and with it will succeed.
