stm32/rfcore: Intercept addr-resolution HCI cmd to work around BLE bug.
The STM32WB has a problem when address resolution is enabled: under certain
conditions the MCU can get into a state where it draws an additional 10mA
or so and eventually ends up with a broken BLE RX path in the silicon. A
simple way to reproduce this is to enable address resolution (which is the
default for NimBLE) and start the device advertising. If there is enough
BLE activity in the vicinity then the device will at some point enter the
bad state and, if left long enough, will have permanent BLE RX damage.
STMicroelectronics are aware of this issue. The only known workaround at
this stage is to not enable address resolution, which is implemented by
this commit.
Work done in collaboration with Jim Mussared aka @jimmo.
