I thought about this patch and I think we should add it. The regex solution results in a lot of garbage inside the output directory. Regular users don't compile u-boot, and anyone with the skills to port guixsd to a new board will know what to put. It also serves as documentation, from reading the package definition I can tell what the relevant files are without examining the output directory (which is full of garbage - so I have to google it anyway).
