No -- it would have been me, and its a PMAG-JA

And I still can't ship it out....

If somebody could give a few hints on how I can hack the kernel to force
board initialisation over TC, I might be able to fudge a semi-working
driver up.

The biggest problem is that the board itself is a palettised 24bit
framebuffer - but fortunately its a dumb framebuffer [no horid CPU that
I can see]

Anyhows -- if somebody wants to lend a bit of a hand with hints on how
to 'tweak' that kernel....
