But what about reverse-engineering the chips (in whatever way) and documenting it, and then contributing this documentation instead of code (a.k.a. clean-room engineering)?
I'll let someone else handle that question. I only can say that I much prefer to work with companies that wish to help with linuxbios (such as AMD). If you have the possibility of collaboration with a company, that is preferable to having to reverse engineer.
