Windows drivers/stacks often (always?) do that. It does not mean that
actual Bluetooth device has UART on board. According to the following
link Bluetooth device inside T30 is actually a USB one.

Can you confirm/deny this? Could you please boot FreeBSD, activate
Bluetooth device on your T30 and try

# usbdevs -v -d

If the Bluetooth device is indeed USB one than please send me the
Vendor ID and Product ID for the device.

thanks,
max
