please post the actual pairing exchange here, but this seems like the
PTS is fundamentally broken. If we pair with no bonding, we do throw the
link key away and that is suppose to be done this way.

Is there any chance to do a dedicated or general bonding with the PTS to
keep the link key around? Like you would actually be doing when using
any HFP device.
