Technically the patch looks quite good now. Thanks for implementing the
fix proposals. I had a chat with Marcel and we'd like to have a more
detailed explanation of the exact use case where you need this (i.e.
describe what your agents, etc. are doing and why they can't do what you
want with the current behavior). Also a hcidump showing the local and
remote rejection error codes would be good.
