I'm trying an experiment and I welcome anyone who wants to help.
It's a simple idea motivated by a very hard problem. The problem is that we have unending problems with binary video bioses. We'd like to get to a source based video bios on, e.g., chromebook.

The simple idea is to use coccinelle to extract the init code from the linux driver to create a standalone piece of C code . I've got to the point that I can compile the module load function and most of the things it calls to a standalone user program.

Anyway, there are people on this list who are lots better at coccinelle than I am, and who know graphics better, and so on. What I'm thinking to do is submit a commit for this tool in its nascent state and let people take a look. Or, share the code, which may be better.
If interested, let me know. I could use the help :-)
I guess also contacting the Coccinelle [1] and Intel-gfx [2] folks will get you more answers.
Sharing your code in a repository hosted somewhere or submit a patch with current state will certainly be beneficial.
Thanks,
Paul
