Even with rate limited reporting this is very spammy and since it is remote device that is providing bogus data there is no need to report this as error.

bt_dev_err_ratelimited(hdev, "advertising data len corrected %u -> %u",len, real_len); len = real_len; }This renders the "if" quite useless since it now always ensures len = real_len and nothing else. At this point, the "if" can be removed, and len can be set unconditionally. Depending on the further context of the patch, destinction between real_len and len may not be needed at all and real_len could be renamed to len, ditching the unused original which is potentially bogus data anyways according to your commit description.
That was introduced to truncate the len, the patch just removes the logging but it does keep this logic, if you want to understand the reason for it just use git blame and look at the history.
