So this needs to be prefixed with msft_ actually.

Actually supported == false is the same as opcode == 0x0000. And supported == true is opcode != 0x0000. > __u64 msft_vnd_ext_features; > __u8 msft_vnd_ext_evt_prefix_len; > void *msft_vnd_ext_evt_prefix; > }; > > And then simply add the struct msft_vnd_ext (and any others) to hci_dev. Anyway, Lets keep these for now as hci_dev->msft_vnd_ext_*. We can fix this up later without any impact. Regards Marcel
