If I were to create a new smart card driver I wouldn't not accept the idea of different vid/pid combinations. because that would make the system like OpenSC, i.e. an never-ending story. Patches should only be applied if there are outright bugs. Although I do SW development for a living, I would like to spend my precious cycles solving *real* problems. As I understand the USB spec the branding is outside of the vid/pid pair.
