But that code is only needed if you've hacked in the port writes to switch to IGD in the early boot code, right? It's fine as a local hack when trying to get things working, but I don't see it as something that's going to be mainlined. Putting togethter something we can mainline is my goal with the patches I've got queued up in the referenced repository.
Fwiw on the Macbook Pro 8,2, using my tree with the patches from http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/radeon_efi/ and no port writes hacked into early boot, the active client as seen by vga_switcheroo and apple_gmux are the same.
