Re: [PATCH 2/2] sdp: Fix sdp_get_profile_descs for Mac Os X Lion

Hi Johan,
I've applied the first patch since that's quite straight forward but I'm
struggling a bit with this second one. Firstly you should include the
hcidump into the commit message as well as a proper explanation. An
empty commit message (just summary line) is only acceptable for extremely
trivial patches (and this is far from it).

I *think* I get the main part of the patch, but one thing that's unclear
is why do you assign next to seq instead of letting the for-loop do it.
The second branch of the if-statement doesn't do it either so why does
the first need it? Again, you could have avoided these questions from me
if you had included an appropriate code comment. Whenever there's
something counterintuitive in the code it's a good idea to have such a
comment.
This patch just makes sure the correct profile version number is retrieved and
is specific to Mac Os X Lion HFP AG record. SDP is a very sensible piece of
code, and this needs double checking. I'm not even sure that the record itself
is valid so I would surely understand that in order to enforce the standard this
one is not applied.
From my understanding, the SDP profile descriptor is a list. The for loop
iterates that list. It is unclear in the HFP specification what is contained.
Until now, bluez expected a collection of either uuid or lists with a uuid and a
version number. For example list=(uuid, uuid, (uuid, version), (uuid, version))

The patch fixes the situation where the profile descriptor list contains a uuid
AND a version number both on the root level and not enclosed in a sublist. If
the next item after uuid is uint16, then this is likely to be the
version number of the profile which uuid is given.
list=(uuid, uuid, version, uuid, (uuid, version))

Very easy to reproduce : just run sdptool browse and check the version number of
HFP AG is not 0x105.

However, I'll provide you an updated version with hcidump and a more intuitive
 commit message as soon as I can put my hands on one of these machines again.

Regards,
Frédéric
