+ // 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. We do that here by
+ // intercepting any command that enables address resolution and convert it
+ // into a command that disables address resolution.
