advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative() Returns MAC Address in Reverse Order

[camdenmoors]

Not sure if this intentional.

Example Code:

NimBLEScan *pBLEScan;
class MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks : public NimBLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks
{
  void onResult(NimBLEAdvertisedDevice *advertisedDevice)
  {
    //    // local variables from bluetooth scan
    uint8_t blueRSSI = (uint8_t)advertisedDevice->getRSSI();
    uint8_t blueMAC_0 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[5];
    uint8_t blueMAC_1 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[4];
    uint8_t blueMAC_2 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[3];
    uint8_t blueMAC_3 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[2];
    uint8_t blueMAC_4 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[1];
    uint8_t blueMAC_5 = advertisedDevice->getAddress().getNative()[0];
    // MAC will be in the correct order as we went in reverse.
    Serial.printf("%X:%X:%X:%X:%X:%X\n", blueMAC_0, blueMAC_1, blueMAC_2, blueMAC_3, blueMAC_4, blueMAC_5);
  }
}

This is the way it is represented by the NimBLE stack, thus it is the "native" address. Unfortunately this does cause some confusion for users occasionally.
