Hi

I have a problem with bluez scanning API
When I call StartDiscovery dbus API, I get some duplicate devices found signal whereas using hcitool scan doesn't list duplicate devices
Is it normal, do I have to filter duplicate devices based on the BD address ? Is there a fix for this problem ?
I am using bluez version 4.87

root@localhost ~]# /usr/lib/bluez/test/test-discovery  | grep -e Name -e Addres
    Name = MyLapTop
    Address = 00:16:41:DB:FF:F2
    Name = C1-01
    Address = 78:2E:EF:10:F4:7B
    Name = Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card
    Address = 00:25:56:E4:0E:0C
    Name = Nokia 2730
    Address = C8:DF:7C:CF:CE:E7
    Name = MyLapTop
    Address = 00:16:41:DB:FF:F2
    Name = Nokia 2730
    Address = C8:DF:7C:CF:CE:E7
    Name = Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card

It works as intended as they could be found in different scan rounds
or due to rssi signal has been changed, hcitool in the other hand is a
single shot and is not rssi aware so it just need to return one entry
of each device found but if you use hcidump you will see that the
inquiry result may contain more than one entry for each device.
