I am fine with both. On one hand BD2606MVV is not a LED by itself
but LEDs can be connected to it. so the chip itself can be called LED driver.

But on the other hand I think that holds true for everything in drivers/leds
and binding/leds and we do not call the subsystem leddriver.
So there are reasons for and against "driver" in the subject line.
