From: Timo Mueller <timo.mueller@xxxxxxxxxxxx> When responding to a remotely-initiated pairing procedure, a MITM protected SSP associaton model can be used for pairing if both local and remote IO capabilities are set to something other than NoInputNoOutput, regardless of the bonding type (Dedicated or General). This was already done for Dedicated Bonding but this patch proposes to use the same policy for General Bonding as well. The GAP Specification gives the flexibility to decide whether MITM Protection is used ot not (Bluetooth Core Specification v4.0 Volume 3, part C, section 6.5.3). Note however that the recommendation is *not* to set this flag "unless the security policy of an available local service requires MITM Protection" (for both Dedicated and General Bonding). However, as we are already requiring MITM for Dedicated Bonding, we will follow this behaviour also for General Bonding.
