20 peers on Peer Manager but 8 peers on SoftDevice

Question

Peer Manager in recent SDKs supports up to 20 peers but SoftDevice functions like sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() and sd_ble_gap_device_identities_set() are able to handle up to 8 addresses only. How to whitelist and get resolved peers #9-20?

 Yes, doing it in SW is the only option of you need to handle a whitelist of more than 8 IRKs. 
 Basprog said: If yes, is the any way for the application to report a matched peer_id to Peer Manager to avoid reiteration over all bonds? 
 I have not been able to look into how you can do that, but I would think it should be possible with some adjustments to the peer manager. Unfortunately I will not be able to look into it in more detail until next week, due to Easter.
