[LinuxBIOS] nVidia MCP55

[Ed Swierk]

Hello,

I'm about to start getting LinuxBIOS to work on an nVidia MCP55-based
mainboard, and wonder whether other folks have already began work on
this chipset.

I haven't managed to get hold of any nVidia specs yet. Any clues how
to enable the serial port on the MCP55? Will it require some SMBus
diddling?

Yinghai Lu has some code for MCP55, but I don't know whether he has
already finished writing a replacement for NVMM. A month ago, he wrote:
