When we did our dbm690t, we set up a SVN server in our own server, which everyday work was submit to. When we think the work is good enough, we send a patch to the community. That is a little complicated, but I believe it is a good way.
Currently the SuperIO is not only configured in Config.lb, but also is included in cache_as_ram.c. Based on this code structure, it is difficult to make a single switch to decide which SuperIO we are using.
Everything makes its own sense. I believe you should make up a new directory in mainboard for each SuperIO. Anyone else?

I don't see any way to select at configuration time which SuperIO/Baseboard is connected. Would it make sense to implement a standard SuperIO interface and just link against the one we want? Would there be a need to support multiple SuperIO in the same system? Has there been any steps taken towards doing this? Any interest other than myself?
