we are not going to keep comparing packet types over and over again. The code is already doing that. So functions like hci_sched_acl and hci_acldata_packet are already present in the code.

So radio activity is caused by RX/TX meaning ACL/SCO packets for sure. There is also other radio activity caused by scanning, inquiry, create connection etc. And the question is if this should be there as well.
