Thanks for the detailed summary. However I would also like to understand the status of mgmt interface in terms of its completeness for BR/EDR and LE support. I can see LE Discovery related patches being pushed upstream for mgmt i/f however what intrigues me is whether its totally unavoidable to upgrade to mgmt interface for LE/profiles? 
Since for SMP key exchange, hciops is inadequate, I am trying to understand as to how far hciops can be relied in terms of LE profiles which would need SMP key distribution and storage?
 


Thanks,
Arun
