Notify on succeeds while no apparent descriptor

flat view

I have a bogus BLE device which exposes "badly" a characteristic
notification. Even though it doesn't find a characteristic descriptor,
I'm still able to start notifications and even receive value changed
events.

For info, Android and macOS raise an exception when trying to start
notifications. See
https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/ble-test-peripheral-android/issues/63

See logs:
