Public bug reported:

When pairing with Bluetooth legacy devices (those using Bluetooth
version < 2.1) we currently don't implement support for displaying a PIN
code used for pairing. From the functionality point of view this doesn't
cause any harm but if we do it would bring us more along with what the
Bluetooth spec says. If we don't implement the DisplayPinCode Agent
method BlueZ will use RequestPinCode instead which will require the user
to enter the same PIN code on both devices rather than entering a
displayed PIN code on just the responding device (initiating device will
display the PIN code to enter).

See https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/agent-
api.txt?id=4.101#n64 for more details.
