cirrusfb is fixed as of 2.4 release.
This stuff is going to get fixed over time.
I think I know how to think about this. Linux knows how to turn chipsets
on. linux doesn't know mainboard details. So, linuxbios needs to fix
things that are mainboard-specific, and linux does the rest.
example: motherboard with both via vt82c686a south and a superio.
Linuxbios has to know which pieces of which part to turn on, since the 686
has some superio functions.
example: motherboard with two superios. Linuxbios will probably have to
know which pieces of which superios to turn on, since linux will not.
So, I'm going to try to figure out an API for BOTH config tool AND C.
Configtool might be something like
superio ITD/it1235 serial, mouse
superio via/vt82c686a flash, ide
so I extend superio syntax to say what bits of the superio matter. Then I
can generate code to call the right pieces.
comments?
