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
Yes
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.
Yes
It might be easier to write your own code from scratch for coreboot.
Probibly, but I could use certian functions from this code.
What exactly do you intend to do? Where's this code needed?
This code will enable communications with the Conexant CX25873 tv-out chip via i2c through the northbridge GPIO lines. Then I can program the tv-out registers and initialize it. I'm still not exactly sure where this code will run. If can run before VGA is initialized that would be great. But it may have to run after, to get the correct clock and timing signals from the northbridge graphics, which means a modification to the coreboot core code.
Anyone know from what file the vga device init code is from???
Ok, looks like it just uses the default init. Also looks like I won't have to modify any coreboot core code to run the i2c-i810 after VGA is initialized. I can just setup a vga.c file in the northbridge for a custom vga init, and call it from there. Kind of like Corey did for the Via CN700, thanks Corey :-)
