Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: skip invalid hci_sync_conn_complete_evt

and that is actually forbidden by the spec. So we need to complain loudly that such a device is misbehaving.

The comment has go above and be a lot more details since this is not expected behavior from valid hardware and we should add a bt_dev_err as well.
