esp-idf: esp_bt_dev_set_device_name() not working (IDFGH-8425)

Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

IDF version.

ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 (revision 3)

Power Supply used.

USB

What is the expected behavior?

esp_bt_dev_set_device_name() should make the ESP32 display the name.

What is the actual behavior?

Using NRFConnect I can see the device advertising my Beacon but the name is shown as NA (Not available).

Steps to reproduce.

    esp_err_t status;

	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_CLASSIC_BT));
    esp_bt_controller_config_t bt_cfg = BT_CONTROLLER_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
    esp_bt_controller_init(&bt_cfg);
    esp_bt_controller_enable(ESP_BT_MODE_BLE);
    
    esp_bluedroid_init();
    
    
    esp_bluedroid_enable();
    
    esp_err_t err=esp_bt_dev_set_device_name("ho");
    ESP_LOGI("main", "Set name result: %s", esp_err_to_name(err));

I have also tried to:

static esp_ble_adv_data_t esp_ble_adv_data={
    .include_name=true
};

And then:

    err= esp_ble_gap_config_adv_data(&esp_ble_adv_data);
    ESP_LOGI("main", "config adv data result: %s", esp_err_to_name(err));

With no success.
