I was considering this but wildcards are somewhat error prone. I can't
guarantee they don't match to drivers which I am not working with :(
The BDxxxxx is common for pretty much all ROHM ICs (well, theres few
other like BUxxxxx and BHxxxxx) - and there is huge amount of ICs.
Hence I think it is likely the wildcards (will) match to drivers
maintained by others.

One already existing example is:
ROHM MULTIFUNCTION BD9571MWV-M PMIC DEVICE DRIVERS
M:      Marek Vasut <marek.vasut+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>
L:      linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
L:      linux-renesas-soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S:      Supported          
F:      Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/bd9571mwv.txt          
F:      drivers/gpio/gpio-bd9571mwv.c
F:      drivers/mfd/bd9571mwv.c          
F:      drivers/regulator/bd9571mwv-regulator.c
F:      include/linux/mfd/bd9571mwv.h

also LEDs have some ROHM IC drivers which I am not familiar with.

So, I am sure I can find a working match pattern for a few of the files
- but if using wildcards is not compulsory I'd rather not do that as I
have a feeling this will cause wrong matches...
