OK! I see.

I have digged that the link key stored function be introduced by 55ed8ca10f35
since v2.6.39-rc1:

commit 55ed8ca10f3530de8edbbf138acb50992bf5005b

Bluetooth: Implement link key handling for the management interface

I will add Fixes: 55ed8ca10f35 ("Bluetooth: Implement link key handling for the management interface")
in next version.

Thanks for your and Markus's reminder.
