It is probably a good idea to quote the spec saying:

7.8.44 LE Set Address Resolution Enable command

This command shall not be used when:
• Advertising (other than periodic advertising) is enabled,

I think it is better that we add something like
hci_pause_addr_resolution so we can make it check all the conditions,
such as pausing advertising and resuming if needed. Btw, we do seem to
have proper checks for these conditions on the emulator:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/emulator/btdev.c#n4090

But perhaps there is no test which attempts to enable LL Privacy
without enabling Local Privacy, so it would be great if you could
update mgmt-tester adding a test that emulates such behavior.
