This is pretty ill informed advice. SeaBIOS implements a legacy, x86
specific interface. This is not something you'd ever want to implement
on non-x86 hardware.

People can contribute to coreboot without even owning a physical device
on which coreboot runs, let alone *your* favorite board. The board you
suggest is not a good example at all. The code supporting that board has
some serious quality issues.
