Currently, the connectable flag used by the setup of an extended
advertising instance drives whether we require privacy when trying to pass
a random address to the advertising parameters (Own Address).
If privacy is not required, then it automatically falls back to using the
controller's public address. This can cause problems when using controllers
that do not have a public address set, but instead use a static random
address.
e.g. Assume a BLE controller that does not have a public address set.
The controller upon powering is set with a random static address by default
by the kernel.

Setting connectable extended advertisement parameters in bluetoothctl mgmt
add-ext-adv-params -r 0x801 -x 0x802 -P 2M -g -c 1
mistakenly sets Own address type to Public (which causes to use Public
Address 00:00:00:00:00:00)
< HCI Command: LE Set Extended Advertising Parameters (0x08|0x0036)
plen 25
...
Own address type: Public (0x00)
This causes either the controller to emit an Invalid Parameters error or to
mishandle the advertising.
This patch makes sure that we use the already set static random address
when requesting a connectable extended advertising when we don't require
privacy and our public address is not set (00:00:00:00:00:00).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
