No idea about this one.

Absolutely not, since the original BIOS is not likely something you have the
right to duplicate, and even less put under the GPL. Please don't send us
code (disassembly) from it either. You are however more than welcome to
contribute fresh code that you've written yourself and put under the GPL,
that will get the chipset running. Look at the existing code for SiS
chipsets and start comparing datasheets, would be my suggestion to get it to
work.
