[nRF52840] UART service advertising error.

[Sunghwan_Chung]

Hello!

I try to connect through UART(Serial) with nRFConnect App.
Error found at the advertise function.

=====================================
>>>
>>> import spp
>>> sc = spp.SPP()
SoftDevice enabled
1. setName(name), default is nrf52_SPP .
2. start() : start service and advertise
>>> sc.start()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", in <module>
File "spp.py", in start
OSError: Can not apply advertisment data. status: 0x09
>>>
=====================================

When use advertise() without params. It return no error and get any error during connect with iPhone App.
But, disconnected and connect continuously and unable transfer data. Code is below.
