 D-Bus error message.
Having a code attached instead of a string description makes it easier
for a D-Bus client to interpret and map to corresponding handlers IMO.
For instead, a client can simplily use the code in a switch case to
perform retry or error reporting.

My mistake, this should be ENOMEM. Corrected in v3.

> What is the intention to split BR/EDR and LE here. You do know up-front w=
hat connection type you are. Trying to figure out from the error code what =
connection you have been trying to establish is plain wrong.
In fact the up-front connection type is not necessarily known. In the
case of dual-mode devices, such as Bose QC35, a D-Bus client can issue
Connect(), and it depends on the timing of connection request (adv
usually arrive first compared to inquiry result), it can be either
BR/EDR or LE link being established. Another aspect of this is the
metrics collection, where knowing transport can be handy. For
instance, we can associate the certain error to particular use cases
at application layer, and that can help targeting the bottleneck to
tackle.

Indeed the intention is to know where it failed exactly. However, as
mentioned above, transport information is also an important piece of
information to know.

As replied above, having a code attached instead of a string
description makes it easier for a D-Bus client to interpret and map to
corresponding handlers, but I am happy to explore other options as
well.
