Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] Bluetooth: Ignore HCI_ERROR_CANCELLED_BY_HOST on adv
 set terminated event

From: Archie Pusaka <apusaka@...omium.org>

This event is received when the controller stops advertising,
specifically for these three reasons:
(a) Connection is successfully created (success).
(b) Timeout is reached (error).
(c) Number of advertising events is reached (error).
(*) This event is NOT generated when the host stops the advertisement.
Refer to the BT spec ver 5.3 vol 4 part E sec 7.7.65.18. Note that the
section was revised from BT spec ver 5.0 vol 2 part E sec 7.7.65.18
which was ambiguous about (*).

Some chips (e.g. RTL8822CE) send this event when the host stops the
advertisement with status = HCI_ERROR_CANCELLED_BY_HOST (due to (*)
above). This is treated as an error and the advertisement will be
removed and userspace will be informed via MGMT event.

On suspend, we are supposed to temporarily disable advertisements,
and continue advertising on resume. However, due to the behavior
above, the advertisements are removed instead.

This patch returns early if HCI_ERROR_CANCELLED_BY_HOST is received.

Btmon snippet of the unexpected behavior:
@ MGMT Command: Remove Advertising (0x003f) plen 1
        Instance: 1
< HCI Command: LE Set Extended Advertising Enable (0x08|0x0039) plen 6
        Extended advertising: Disabled (0x00)
        Number of sets: 1 (0x01)
        Entry 0
          Handle: 0x01
          Duration: 0 ms (0x00)
          Max ext adv events: 0
> HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 6
      LE Advertising Set Terminated (0x12)
        Status: Operation Cancelled by Host (0x44)
        Handle: 1
        Connection handle: 0
        Number of completed extended advertising events: 5
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
      LE Set Extended Advertising Enable (0x08|0x0039) ncmd 2
        Status: Success (0x00)
