How are you going to separate Tegra210/186/194 drivers from each other?
I don't think you'll want to have one "fat" driver that covers all those
SoCs, won't you?

In the end it should be three modules: tegra210-video.ko
tegra186-video.ko tegra194-video.ko.

Using a per-SoC OPS doesn't allow you to do that because the "root"
driver will have to lookup OPS' code symbols of every SoC, and thus, the
unwanted driver modules will get auto-loaded if you'll try to factor out
the OPS into a separate driver modules.
