Bluez has difficulty in pairing with Apple Airpods. This issue is
caused by the incorrect selection of BD address type due to two factors:
(1) The LE advertising reports emitted by Airpods do not carry eir
data flags.
(2) If the eir data flags is missing, the found device would not be
considered as coming with bredr address for some historical
obsolete reason.
This patch fixes (2) above.
Tested on Chrome OS by pairing with Airpods.
Without this patch, the pairing success rate is about 20%.
With this patch, the pairing success rate becomes almost 100%.
