RE: feedback: BLE_GAP_DEVNAME_MAX_LEN is too short

While the line I cited does say "can be up to 248 bytes", Vol 1 Part E section 1.6 states that "can" is informative, not normative, and may be read as "is able to". Volume 2 Part C section 4.3.5 repeats the 248 byte maximum but does not use normative language nor suggest a minimum that must be supported.

I expect the answer can be found somewhere in the 2771 pages of Core V4.2, and hoped somebody would know where, just to satisfy curiosity. It's not that important, though.

Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, the Bluetooth spec allows it. It says "The Bluetooth device name can be up to 248 bytes".

Earlier it was 20 bytes, but we have increased it 31 bytes.
