What do you guys think about this? Is there any licensing issues I should be worried about??
Are we talking about this file? http://lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/kernel/busses/i2c-i810.c
If yes, there is no problem. It's GPLv2-or-later and can be copied into our repo (and adapted as needed), no problem. Just keep the complete license header intact, of course.
The question is how much of that code you need, lots of it looks very Linux-specific and would need quite some modifications. It might be easier to write your own code from scratch for coreboot.
What exactly do you intend to do? Where's this code needed?
