we did leave hci_test_bit in the code since there are some userspace facing API that we can not change. Remember that the origin of this code is from 2.4.6 kernel.

So we can only change this if you can ensure not to break the userspace API. So might want to write unit tests to ensure working HCI filter before even considering touching this.
