that is the thing, from what I can see, this combo device has a pci device which is the wifi, see:
$ tail /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/{device,vendor}
==> /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/device <==
0x2723
==> /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/vendor <==
0x8086
dagg@NCC-5001D ~ $ ll /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/iommu_group
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 26 09:44 /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/iommu_group -> ../../../../../../kernel/iommu_groups/13
while the bt is a usb device, see:
$ tail /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/id*
==> /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/idProduct <==
0029
==> /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/idVendor <==
8087
both of them are AX200
