[Bluez PATCH] device: Fix device can't be scanned for 5 mins after reboot

[Bluez PATCH] device: Fix device can't be scanned for 5 mins after reboot

[Archie Pusaka]

From: Archie Pusaka <apusaka@chromium.org>

After the patches which limit the attempts of doing remote name
resolving, there's an issue which prevents BlueZ to RNR new devices
for 5 minutes after reboot. It's caused by failed_time is init to 0,
and is then treated as the timestamp when the device failed RNR.
However, actually there is no failure yet.

This CL fixes it by always allowing RNR when failed_time = 0.

I have the feeling this becomes complex and hard to follow. I appreciate the comment above, but just for thoughts, would it be better to do something like this:

	/* failed_time is empty (0). Meaning no prior failure. */
	if (device->name_..failed_time == 0)
		return true;

	..

	return false;

I actually prefer your suggestion, this makes the code much easier to read.
However it's not a very common pattern I observe so I went with the
previous approach.

I have sent a v2 to separate the big if, please take a look.

Thanks,
Archie
