I don't know what you're trying to do here, but you seem to be trying to send
the computed value back in time.


I was under the impression that hdr[0] |= 0x80 + bcsp->msgq_txseq;
is computing a value for BT_DBG then ret = ++(bcsp->msgq_txseq)& 0x07
computes a value as well i.e.

BT_DBG("Sending packet with seqno %u", hdr[0] | ret);

The problem is that the compiler is confused about why a '++' operator makes
any sense here. It doesn't. It should be a '+ 1' instead. I think what you
want is:

- bcsp->msgq_txseq = ++(bcsp->msgq_txseq)& 0x07;
+ bcsp->msgq_txseq = (bcsp->msgq_txseq + 1)& 0x07;

yeah I did play around with the ++ and noticed the compiler would be satisfied if the ++ was not there, but didn't think to just add a + 1
