Since the next statements (uuid16 < 0x1100) indirectly do this logic,
I intentionally removed it in order to avoid duplication.
Probably for more clarity and readability, I can do it as per your
suggestion.

As per the specification, "To reduce interference, the host should try
to minimize the amount of EIR data such that the baseband can use
a 1-slot or 3-slot EIR packet. This is advantageous because it reduces
interference and maximizes the probability that the EIR packet will be
received."

Does the addition of 128-bit and 32-bit uuid decreases the probability of the
reception of EIR packet, if any application register more of these types?
