I'm unsure how K: works, but you grep definitely selects some wrong files.

I tried with "xdp_":
 git grep --name-only xdp_

That does catch all the driver that have XDP support, which is the
point of the exercise (to catch drivers).

It does contain a couple of false-positives:
  drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-traffic.c
  drivers/thunderbolt/tb_msgs.h
  drivers/thunderbolt/xdomain.c
  sound/soc/codecs/rt5670.c

Via the pattern '[^a-z]xdp_' I'm only left with the thunderbolt
false-positive, as it have a data struct's called tb_xdp_*.
