As per my understanding, v4 does not add any problems compared to
existing kernel behavior, infact fixes issue with respect to current
kernel, that has problem if controller does not support some eSCO
packet types.

Problem now is with RFU bits, which needs to be corrected, and a new
patch is required for that.
