Maybe we use leds-bcm63138.c then since this is the first chip in the
list that featured that block, similar to how leds-bcm6328.c was
created? Then my second choice would be leds-bcm63xx.c just so the
existing patterns match, really and because it's easy to visually not be
able to tell the difference between two x versus three x.
