I have twenty bluetooth modules in
/lib/modules/5.10.0-19-amd64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/

$ grep 'Reading Intel version' /lib/modules/5.10.0-19-amd64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/*
grep: /lib/modules/5.10.0-19-amd64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btintel.ko: binary file matches
grep: /lib/modules/5.10.0-19-amd64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_uart.ko: binary file matches
