 The LIMITED_DISCOVERABLE_MODE service class is missing and minor
classes for other major classes than Computer and Phone are not listed
in "constant definition" (ie: uncategorized, keyboard, pointing, combo
for Peripheral major class).
 I use the "class of device" to filter and/or display specific icon for
all couple of major and minor in an embedded device.
 Perhaps a new set of APIs could be better ?
