Benjamin Cabé 155420522b doc: Fix occurrences of repeated words
Another round of repeated words cleanup. This commit tries to keep the
diff minimal and line wrapping was mostly left intact in the touched
files, as having them consistent across the documentation is probably
the topic of a future tree-wide cleanup (or not)

Generic Attribute Profile (GATT)
################################
GATT layer manages the service database providing APIs for service registration
and attribute declaration.
Services can be registered using :c:func:`bt_gatt_service_register` API
which takes the :c:struct:`bt_gatt_service` struct that provides the list of
attributes the service contains. The helper macro :c:macro:`BT_GATT_SERVICE()`
can be used to declare a service.
Attributes can be declared using the :c:struct:`bt_gatt_attr` struct or using
one of the helper macros:
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_PRIMARY_SERVICE`
Declares a Primary Service.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_SECONDARY_SERVICE`
Declares a Secondary Service.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_INCLUDE_SERVICE`
Declares a Include Service.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_CHARACTERISTIC`
Declares a Characteristic.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_DESCRIPTOR`
Declares a Descriptor.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_ATTRIBUTE`
Declares an Attribute.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_CCC`
Declares a Client Characteristic Configuration.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_CEP`
Declares a Characteristic Extended Properties.
:c:macro:`BT_GATT_CUD`
Declares a Characteristic User Format.
Each attribute contain a ``uuid``, which describes their type, a ``read``
callback, a ``write`` callback and a set of permission. Both read and write
callbacks can be set to NULL if the attribute permission don't allow their
respective operations.
.. note::
32-bit UUIDs are not supported in GATT. All 32-bit UUIDs shall be converted
to 128-bit UUIDs when the UUID is contained in an ATT PDU.
.. note::
Attribute ``read`` and ``write`` callbacks are called directly from RX Thread
thus it is not recommended to block for long periods of time in them.
Attribute value changes can be notified using :c:func:`bt_gatt_notify` API,
alternatively there is :c:func:`bt_gatt_notify_cb` where it is possible to
pass a callback to be called when it is necessary to know the exact instant when
the data has been transmitted over the air. Indications are supported by
:c:func:`bt_gatt_indicate` API.
Client procedures can be enabled with the configuration option:
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_GATT_CLIENT`
Discover procedures can be initiated with the use of
:c:func:`bt_gatt_discover` API which takes the
:c:struct:`bt_gatt_discover_params` struct which describes the type of
discovery. The parameters also serves as a filter when setting the ``uuid``
field only attributes which matches will be discovered, in contrast setting it
to NULL allows all attributes to be discovered.
.. note::
Caching discovered attributes is not supported.
Read procedures are supported by :c:func:`bt_gatt_read` API which takes the
:c:struct:`bt_gatt_read_params` struct as parameters. In the parameters one or
more attributes can be set, though setting multiple handles requires the option:
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_GATT_READ_MULTIPLE`
Write procedures are supported by :c:func:`bt_gatt_write` API and takes
:c:struct:`bt_gatt_write_params` struct as parameters. In case the write
operation don't require a response :c:func:`bt_gatt_write_without_response`
or :c:func:`bt_gatt_write_without_response_cb` APIs can be used, with the
later working similarly to :c:func:`bt_gatt_notify_cb`.
Subscriptions to notification and indication can be initiated with use of
:c:func:`bt_gatt_subscribe` API which takes
:c:struct:`bt_gatt_subscribe_params` as parameters. Multiple subscriptions to
the same attribute are supported so there could be multiple ``notify`` callback
being triggered for the same attribute. Subscriptions can be removed with use of
:c:func:`bt_gatt_unsubscribe` API.
.. note::
When subscriptions are removed ``notify`` callback is called with the data
set to NULL.
