there might be some CSR vendor commands to get these information, but
the HCI specification has no standard way for it. However the ACL link
is per definition reliable.

The lower part of the HCI is part of the firmware. Actually the HCI
commands and events are abstractions to the LMP. You can do everything
what is written in the HCI specification and everything below that is up
to the manufacturers.

Sorry, but I think you need expensive hardware for this.
