Could you be more precise?
A quick grep shows:
numUsed = xf86MatchPciInstances(NSC_NAME, PCI_VENDOR_ID_NS,
GeodeChipsets, GeodePCIchipsets,
devSections, numDevSections,
drv, &usedChips);
and
numUsed = xf86MatchPciInstances(NSC_NAME,
PCI_VENDOR_ID_CYRIX,
GeodeChipsets, GeodePCIchipsets,
devSections, numDevSections,
drv, &usedChips);
which means that the driver claims support for all GeodePCIchipsets (4
PCI ids) with vendor name CYRIX and NS. Even if it does the above under
some special circumstances, we have no way to be so precise in the
Debian specific nsc.ids anyway.
