Hi, Marcel,

That Bluetooth SMP knows about the private key is really pointless. Since the detection of debug key usage is actually via the public key portion.

I'm working on letting the bluetooth smp benefit of the ecc private key
generation from the crypto subsystem. I will send some patches soon.

Cheers,
