Ah you were looking at the packaged driver installer (usually called "Proprietary" even though most of it is not).
It will install extra modules so it works with "any" kernel.
For the upstream Torvalds support I guess you end up in the CHIP_IP_DISCOVERY clause, it's a new method for new cards.

I found that article, too, but what is confusing are two things:
* SLES 15 SP 4 doesn't run on 6.0 but 5.14.21
* Why is there no PCI ID in the kernel source?
Hence my request for help understanding how it even works.
