This should be detected at runtime, and that is easily done.

You can use the PCI device to get at the firmware device
node, and use that to look for a firmware device node property
that identifies it as a card from Sun.

Usually the "name" property has some identifying string in it.
Sometimes there is a property with the string "fcode" in it and you
could look for that as well.
