Our product is dual so those tests are mandatory. Additionally, our 
product is 4.2, no 4.0.
The patch you proposed (gatt: Remove support of ATT over BR/EDR) is not 
valid and will not work (if you want I can add details to the other 
thread) and it will break other tests needed for the certification. I 
would suggest to reject it.
To put some light in tests BI-34-C and BI-35-C, it consists in define a 
characteristic only available through the transport layer LE or BR/EDR, 
so in one case the value can be read, and in the other case it is 
rejected. I can add more details if needed.
Currently the workaround that I am doing is record the type of 
connection (LE or BR/EDR) and return the error code for one specific 
characteristic (that I register in my gatt server application), so I 
customize my application. The lab did not confirm/dismiss it yet, but 
hopefully it is what they need.
Thanks for the support on this issue. Let me know if I can help in 
anything, if I need to provide more details, if you want a reply in the 
patch thread or any other stuff.
