I agree with John. Option 4: one ci account for all drivers.

The only valid reasons I'm aware of to use multiple accounts for a single vendor is if the hardware required to run the tests are not accessible from a 'central' ci system, or if the ci systems are managed by different teams.

Otherwise, as you stated, it's more complicated to manage & maintain.

If you have a look at a review in gerrit you can see others appear to have a single account with multiple tests/results submitted.  HP, EMC and NetApp all appear to be pretty clear examples of how to go about doing this.  My personal preference on this has always been a single CI account anyway with the different drivers consolidated under it; if nothing else it reduces clutter in the review posting and makes it "easier" to find what you might be looking for.
