This is doing something quite different - split is not important here.
Instead you narrow the patterns significantly and disallow things like
msm8994pro, sc8280p or sc8280px, and allow things like sa5200p.

I don't see here much of pattern simplifying - dropping (pro)? really
makes little difference.

Best regards,
