what payload is being used here? If SeaBIOS, you'd ideally want SeaBIOS to run the VGA BIOS, not coreboot (in which case, only the oprom name in cbfs needs to match the PCI ID, not the one in the VBIOS header - only coreboot checks that). You'd set coreboot's display init to none, and simply include the VBIOS and set the PCI ID to match. That's what I'm doing here for the Purism Librem 13v4/15v4 boards (which are loosely RVP3-based). Might not hurt to do a 'make savedefconfig' and reply with the contents of defconfig (stripping your board's make/model if needed)
