ccollins476ad opened a new pull request #482: BLE Host - Auto own-addr-type values
URL: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-core/pull/482
 
 
   This commit introduces two new own-addr-type values, usable only by the host:
   
   ```
       #define BLE_OWN_ADDR_AUTO_PUB                (0xf0)
       #define BLE_OWN_ADDR_AUTO_PRIV               (0xf1)
   ```
   
   These values indicate that the host should choose an appropriate own-addr-type value, depending on what is available.  The procedure for choosing an address type is as follows:
   
   ```
       if privacy requested:
           if we have a random static address:
                --> RPA with static random ID
           else
                --> RPA with public ID
           end
       else
           if we have a random static address:
                --> random static address
           else
                --> public address
           end
       end
   ```
   
   The motivation for this change is to allow BLE packages to be more self-contained.  If a package doesn't care what type of address it uses, it can just use whatever is available.
