If it's not, we'd need to extend the storage size of hdev->adv_tx_power
(to have some invalid value) or add another variable to hdev to indicate
that we know the tx_power. FWIW, create_eir also uses the same test for
including the inq_tx_power, so either both or neither should be fixed.
For simplicity I'd just keep the 0-test unless 0 is a really common
value.

Yes, though we only have 31 bytes to play with here which is quite
little. Also, we might want to make this dependent on the LE GAP role.
E.g. we might be more interested in manufacturer specific data for
broadcaster role than for peripheral role (maybe a user space
application *only* wants its data for broadcaster role).
