That's still wrong since the value of ev->eir_len will be wrong if the
class isn't appended in the if-branch. The mgmt_ev_device_found event is
not supposed to contain a non-significant padded part (which is why it's
got the eir_len field). So please add the offset lookup before calling
mgmt_device_found.
