NAK. At the very least, this patch description needs enhancing, but
more likely we need another PCI ID entry or two.

I would strongly suggest eliminating the "These include ...." sentence.
Otherwise, you will be forced by marketing department to patch the
driver every time a new board appears.

Normal this sort of change -- not providing a generic PCI_ANY_ID entries
for the sub-device and sub-vendor IDs -- is a bad idea.
This means that the VSC-related section of the pci_device_id table will
be very maintenance intensive over time. It also means that new or
unknown compatible devices will not automatically be picked up by the
driver.
It may be preferable even to do
0x105a, 0x7250, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, st_vsc0
and then in the PCI init routine, add code that looks something like
if ((ent->driver_data == st_vsc0) && (test for newer rev1))
driver_data = st_vsc1;
else
driver_data = st_vsc0;
