Subject: ATT/GATT parsing to hcidump

Hi All,

Being new to BlueZ community, I went through BlueZ's TODO items.
To get started, I've selected the below TODO item as my maiden contribution.

- ATT/GATT parsing to hcidump. Partially implemented, missing to fix
multiple advertises in the same event and RSSI

Please provide me your valuable suggestion for the same. Thanks!

Regards,
Vikram

Please don't look at old versions of the TODO. This item was removed
last when when I did some basic cleanup there. Now days btmon is the
preferred replacement for hcidump and it should already have full
ATT/GATT decoding support.

Sorry about the general bad shape of the TODO content. I'm hereby
calling on anyone with time to do further cleanups on this file,
especially the maintainers.

I don't unfortunately have any good first task suggestion for you,
except that you might want to also think of what features you feel are
missing from the perspective of the needs of your company or
organization.

We should probably update the TODO about hcidump, the plans are to
move the parsers to btmon and deprecate hcidump so there is a _LOT_
work in to be done in that area.
