The product line has a mix of 4-digit and 5-digit part numbers.  The
drivers for onchip peripherals all used "bcm63xx":

$ find drivers/ | grep 63xx
drivers/tty/serial/bcm63xx_uart.c
drivers/pcmcia/bcm63xx_pcmcia.h
drivers/pcmcia/bcm63xx_pcmcia.c
drivers/usb/gadget/bcm63xx_udc.c
drivers/watchdog/max63xx_wdt.c
drivers/watchdog/bcm63xx_wdt.c
drivers/char/hw_random/bcm63xx-rng.c
drivers/mtd/bcm63xxpart.c
drivers/net/phy/bcm63xx.c
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.h
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c
drivers/spi/spi-bcm63xx.c
drivers/spi/spi-bcm63xx-hsspi.c
