I feel this should be per instance settings, and if we want this level of 
finetuning we would probably need to have new command for adding advertising 
sets (where we could fix more, eg not limit data to 255 bytes).

Other option would be to maybe have new flags in current Add Advertising that 
would allow to choose from low,med,hi (eg based on GAP recommended values) 
intervals, and then allow to finetune those via extra command or sysfs?

Just my two cents.
