Description

We should not use the same default IRK for every device that doesn't set a custom IRK. By default, we should generate a new one and store it. If the storage is set to RAM then the key will last until power cycle. Otherwise, the IRK will be persisted.

Research direction

Start by tracing NimBLE startup initialization and the existing IRK storage path. Verify that a generated IRK is unique per device, survives power cycles only with persistent storage, and is retained only until power loss with RAM storage.
