Subject: [PATCH v1] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Introduce minimum limit of rx_credits value

The commit 96cd8eaa131f 
("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Derive rx credits from MTU and MPS") 
removed the static rx_credits setup to improve BLE packet
communication for high MTU values. However, due to vendor-specific 
issues in the Bluetooth module firmware, using low MTU values 
(especially less than 256 bytes) results in dynamically calculated
rx_credits being too low, causing slow speeds and occasional BLE 
connection failures.

This change aims to improve BLE connection stability and speed 
for low MTU values. It is possible to tune minimum value 
of rx credits with debugfs handle.
