Either. It is up to the system to choose. This is a dual voltage
card.
The [default] entries specify defaults that are inherited by later
entries unless overridden. Here, the 5V entries are complete
(specifying irq, io settings), and marked "default", so that the 3.3V
entries that follow only need to specify the power information that is
changed, everything else is the same.
