(BLE mesh) Get Node from Name (IDFGH-3435)

[JacekDob]

Please add function similar to esp_ble_mesh_provisioner_get_node_index which based on name returns esp_ble_mesh_node_t (like in esp_ble_mesh_provisioner_get_node_with_uuid or esp_ble_mesh_provisioner_get_node_with_addr).

Currently having node name is not possible to relate it to node (esp_ble_mesh_node_t).
Currently it is possible when using esp_ble_mesh_provisioner_get_node_index to get node index, but there is not function to use this node index.

@JacekDob Thanks for reporting this feature request.

[JacekDob]

Thank you for that.

Please also add possibility to iterate through provisioned nodes.

Currently I see only possibility to get number of provisioned nodes (esp_ble_mesh_provisioner_get_prov_node_count), but there is no access to that/not possible to iterate.

Hi @JacekDob

Thanks for the feedback. I have submitted a MR for this internally, and since the code is just in review, please have a try with this patch get_node_with_name.zip

Thanks.

Thank you,

how to apply it?

I am cloning then newest version and trying to apply and I get:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git

Hi @JacekDob

I generated the patch file based on the latest internal idf, but since the esp-idf in Github has not been synced for more than 20 days, this causes failing to apply the patch.

Please apply this one 0001-ble_mesh-get-node-info-with-preset-node-name.patch.tar.gz

Thanks.

[JacekDob]

Thank you, tested, everything works fine.
