Maybe, but this regex misses variants like:

regulator_min_uA_show

Maybe "^[a-z_]*_[numk][VAS](?:_\w+)?$"

But this regex also does not match on other common
sound variants "_dB", "_mB" and temperature like "_mC".

There's also the arm bL variant (bigLittle)

So I guess it'd be better to use
"^[a-z_]*_[a-z][A-Z](?:_\w+)?$"
