Why have it in tree?
I guess that they anticipate that the data may change in the future?
If id-utils is used, Coccinelle will completely ignore files that don't contain BQ27XXX_DATA, so the rule will have essentially no performance impact. If there is no indexing, it will only "grep" for BQ27XXX_DATA, not actually parse the files that don't contain it. So there is not much performance impact even in that case.
