The majority part of the init_ops derives from firmware proprietary unpublished source code - however, it was merged between the two chips (E1 and E1H) to reduce some code size (~1000 lines). We can split it again between the two chips and have a file per chip if that seems reasonable - the downside is that we will have about 1000 duplicated lines of (mostly meaningless) registers initializations. If this is the way we want to go, I can work on creating the two files. What is the timeframe over here? When is the next deadline and when is the one after that...?
