bt_io_connect is not supposed to touch errno, so please don't send
patches for that. If you want to get the exact error you pass a GError
pointer, however even without that it's valid to check at least for a
NULL return. A simple fix if you don't want to add GError to this port.c
function is to return e.g. -EIO in case bt_io_connect returns NULL.
