I use the btmon version 5.50 and it can read the trace

Does your hardware accept sending command both via ACL data and as HCI command? If so, then I would prefer sending them as HCI commands since the speed improvement you think you are getting is neglectable on Linux (I have been down that path). This seems to be a pure optimization when Windows is driving the device.

.
It's a fault from the device and can be simply fixed up in the firmware.
The fault is the device reporting to host told it can support "LE Read
Maximum Data Length", but actually it can't. so it's just a fail at the
command.

The attached here is the fail log I captured with btmon 5.50 where I
already turned the patch setup in HCI command from ACL data and turned
event id 0xe4 to 0xff every vendor should use. And, finally, it can be
seen that btmon already can record and parse all traffic between host
and device well.
