I was not going to be this strict. So yes, userspace can violate the GAP part here, but it might be a good idea to ensure that when a too large value is entered we stick with general discoverable mode. However is this really worth it.

Another option is to just reject too large timeout values as invalid parameters and force userspace to implement large timeouts with general discoverable mode in userspace.
