I knew about EMGD, but not that there's code available for parts of it.

Ah, ok. Then I'll try to extract even a bit more ;-) Thanks very much for that
hint!

Got it now (it's common/drm/emgd_drm.tgz).

I started to look around there, and emgd/display/pi/tnc/i2c_gmbus_tnc.c looks
as a good source of infos. At least it mentions E6xx quite often, and it uses
functions read/write_mmio_reg_tnc on TunnelCreek.

From there I got to an interesting comment:

#ifdef CONFIG_TNC
/* Based on display port determine which mmio base to use:
* port_type == SDVO ==> use 0:3:0 device mmio
* port_type == LVDS ==> use 0:2:0 device mmio
* port_type == LPC ==> use 0:31:0 device mmio
*/

Indeed, I have those additional PCI devices, and the BARs of 0:03.0 look much
like those of 0:02.0. It has PCI ID 8086:8182 and class 0x0400
(multimedia/video). And in BAR 0 at offset 0x5100 there are values that look
more like GMBUS...
(0:1f.0 exists, it declares itself as ISA bridge, and it has no BARs
assigned.)

Ok, I'll go down that road, poke around a bit there, and we'll see how far I
can get!
