I started creating a hwdb/sdio.ids in systemd. However vendor 0x024c is not listed at the moment. If we figure out which one that is, then that should also be added to udev. After that it can annotate these devices properly.

Also if this is a single SDIO interface, then the Bluetooth part might be exposed as serial port. I have seen Realtek devices that run H:5 UART protocol.
