I suspect this is not quite right, hci_disconn_cfm is called when a
disconnection has been requested, hci_connect_cfm is correct here
since it is meant to notify the result of connection request procedure
so I can only assume that the culprit here is that hci_conn_failed is
called with status 0 which is invalid and needs fixing.
