@asharov so far the changes look great, thanks for submitting!

I think we can re-use the structure you created for scan response as well. Let me know your thoughts.

unsigned char type;
unsigned char data[BLE_ADVERTISEMENT_DATA_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH];
};

I like this!

What do you think about renaming it to BLEEirData or something else, and also using it for the scan response arguments?

Sure, that sounds like a good idea. I can add it to the PR.

unsigned char scanDataLength = 0;

unsigned char advertisementData[BLE_ADVERTISEMENT_DATA_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH];
BLEAdvertisementData advertisementData[3];

So, this will using about 42 more bytes of RAM on nRF8001 boards, which I think is ok. Not sure if there's a way to reduce it.

I can only think of having the size of this array in DeviceLimits so it could be different for different boards, setting it to 1 on nRF8001, but I wouldn't know what it should be on nRF51822.
