Initializing it to BDADDR_BREDR wouldn't fix compilation as problem is in
comparing >=0 when type is unsigned (and would change function flow as now
device_set_type is called only if device_type is >=0)...  I'm not sure what
was decided about storage changes so didn't wanted to fiddle with that.

I agree that name is a bit confusing but I guess this is just a consequence
of set_device_type() function name.

So, if it is OK to always fall back to BDADDR_BREDR I can resent V2 with that
change, else I can sent V2 with use of int if you prefer it over signed char.
