Hello,
The above patch addresses a bluetooth crash/issue that we have
observed on our robots. We have tested it for a few weeks, and have
not seen the issue after we applied this patch so not only should this
patch theoretically fix the issue, but it seems to work practically
work for us too. I have pasted the crash below snippet below
