and why don't we have HCI_CONN_LE_IDLE = 0 then. I do not get this magic
number handling when you introduce an enum anyway. You spent more time
explaining it with a comment instead of just using an extra enum entry.

Why is this atomic_t. I am lost on what you are trying to solve here.
This requires a detailed explanation or you just get rid of it and use
the enum.

External state setting. That does not look like a good idea in the first
place. Why do you want to do it like this. Shouldn't be this self
contained.

The more I read this, the more I think this is the wrong approach to
this. The kernel should have a list of device it wants to connect to. If
that list is non-empty, start scanning, if one device is found, try to
connect it, once done, keep scanning if other devices are not connected.
You need to build a foundation for LE devices that the kernel wants to
connect to. And not hack in some state machinery.
And of course, can we please do proper error handling here. This whole
thing is broken. If any of the HCI commands fail, your state machine is
screwed up.
Regards
Marcel
