The bcm_vk driver is the official driver for Valkyrie.  For Viper, the 
bcm_vk driver is only for proof of concept, testing, and demonstration 
purposes. For production, the new driver in development will be used.

To support such configuration, we need to have the Viper pci id 
configurable and off by default in the bcm_vk driver to allow the new 
production driver to be developed against the upstream kernel and drivers.

I don't understand what there would be to submit?  The Viper pci id is 
already upstreamed into the bcm_vk driver.  The sole purpose of this 
patch is to add the Kconfig option and have it off by default.
