[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.16-6.1] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Avoid adding default advertising on startup

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Yang Li <yang.li@amlogic.com>

[ Upstream commit de5d7d3f27ddd4046736f558a40e252ddda82013 ]

list_empty(&hdev->adv_instances) is always true during startup,
so an advertising instance is added by default.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a **logic error** in `hci_powered_update_adv_sync()`
that causes unnecessary default advertising instance creation during
Bluetooth startup. The problematic code at line 3290 uses an OR
condition:

```c
if (hci_dev_test_flag(hdev, HCI_ADVERTISING) ||
    list_empty(&hdev->adv_instances))
```

This condition is **always true** during startup because
`list_empty(&hdev->adv_instances)` returns true when the advertising
instances list is initially empty. This causes the code block to execute
unconditionally, creating a default advertising instance even when not
needed.

## The Fix

The patch changes the OR (`||`) to AND (`&&`):

```c
if (hci_dev_test_flag(hdev, HCI_ADVERTISING) &&
    list_empty(&hdev->adv_instances))
```

This ensures the default advertising setup only occurs when:
1. The HCI_ADVERTISING flag is explicitly set, AND
2. There are no advertising instances configured

## Why This Should Be Backported

1. **Clear Bug Fix**: This is a straightforward logic error that causes
   incorrect behavior during Bluetooth initialization. The stack trace
   in the commit message shows this happens during normal startup flow
   (`hci_power_on_sync` → `hci_powered_update_sync` →
   `hci_powered_update_adv_sync`).

2. **Small and Contained**: The fix is a single character change (|| to
   &&) that only affects the conditional logic. No architectural changes
   or new features are introduced.

3. **Prevents Resource Waste**: The bug causes unnecessary advertising
   instance creation on every Bluetooth startup, which wastes system
   resources and may interfere with user-configured advertising
   settings.

4. **Low Risk**: The change is minimal and only affects the specific
   condition for creating default advertising. The same pattern
   (checking both flags with AND) is already used in other parts of the
   codebase (e.g., `reenable_adv_sync()` function).

5. **User-Visible Impact**: The issue has an associated BlueZ bug report
   (#1442), indicating real users are affected by this problem.

6. **Long-Standing Issue**: The problematic code was introduced in
   commit cf75ad8b41d2a (October 2021), meaning this bug has been
   affecting users for an extended period across multiple kernel
   versions.

The fix follows stable kernel rules perfectly: it's a important bugfix
with minimal code change and very low regression risk, making it an
ideal candidate for stable backporting.
