I think this reasoning is completely broken; what you are saying is
that SeaBIOS should in principle do the complete hardware init.

It is IMO broken enough that SeaBIOS does so for QEMU - please don't
push that into SeaBIOS built for coreboot, but fix the actual
problem where it exists (in coreboot), instead of making a workaround
in SeaBIOS under the guise of "we need it so we must do it ourselves"

It sounds like NIH syndrome. :\
