I thought there are more valid connection states for the first HCI_CONNECTION_COMPLETE event, as it also occurs e.g. after an HCI_Create_Connection command, see Core 5.3 p.2170:

For example in hci_conn.c hci_acl_create_connection (which triggers a HCI_Create_Connection command as far as I understand), the state of the connection is changed to BT_CONNECT or BT_CONNECT2.
But as I am quite new in the (Linux) Bluetooth world, I might have a wrong understanding of that.
