Hi Andreson,

I think that I mentioned this before. This is not something I like to
see at all. 1:1 copies of HCI commands is pointless.

If you need RSSI results, then something like proper interval and
thresholds should be supported. Also with future Bluetooth SIG work on
having controller driven notifications in this area.
