Description
Description
If we have devices /dev/xyz1 to /dev/xyz10, currently to bind mount all these devices we have to use --device=/dev/xyz1 --device=/dev/xyz2 ...... It would be good to have a wildcard like --device=/dev/xyz* that lets all the devices show up in the container.

Research direction
Start at the Docker CLI entry point for the --device option and trace how device arguments are parsed and validated. Review the existing device-option tests, then define and verify behavior for a wildcard such as /dev/xyz* so matching devices are available in the container.
