not sure what code you are looking at, but I count 18 occurrences and we
have been fixing the ones we missed initially.

Don't see what point you are trying to make here. Swapping the value
from the actual command structure is always fine with me.

Thinks like this happen. However after you bisected the issue you could
have just checked what is in Linus' or bluetooth-next tree. Since the
first thing I did is go through bluetooth-next and check if we have not
fixed that yet.
