[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: HCI: Set extended advertising data synchronously

Christian Eggers
2025-06-27T07:05:26Z

Currently, for controllers with extended advertising, the advertising
data is set in the asynchronous response handler for extended
adverstising params. As most advertising settings are performed in a
synchronous context, the (asynchronous) setting of the advertising data
is done too late (after enabling the advertising).

Move setting of adverstising data from asynchronous response handler
into synchronous context to fix ordering of HCI commands.

v3: refactor: store adv_addr_type/tx_power within hci_set_ext_adv_params_sync()

v2: convert setting of adv data into synchronous context (rather than moving
more methods into asynchronous response handlers).
- hci_set_ext_adv_params_sync: new method
- hci_set_ext_adv_data_sync: move within source file (no changes)
- hci_set_adv_data_sync: dito
- hci_update_adv_data_sync: dito
- hci_cc_set_ext_adv_param: remove (performed synchronously now)
