CH7007A (AKA CH7006) TV OUT Support for NV11 (NVidia GeForce2 Go Dell I8K Laptop)

[Roger <rogerx.oss-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop (or I8K) with a NVidia Geforce2 Go (or NV11) 
with an embedded CH7007A chip, and am seeing the following after getting ch7006 
kernel driver/module loaded:

# dmesg |grep ch7006 -i

However, nouveau still only sees LVDS-1.  I assume this is likely not the 
ch7006 omitting the required code for enabling TV-OUT?

For kicks, I've also tried a ton of options via kernel boot commands:
video=LVDS-1:1024x768@60 video=VGA-1:800x600@60 video=TV-1:e video=TV:e gfxpayload=1024x768x16 selinux=0 nouveau.tv_disable=0 nouveau.tv_norm=NTSC-M nouveau.debug=1 ch7006.debug=1 ch7006.tv_norm=NTSC-M ch7006.scale=2 i2c-algo-bit.bit_test=1 rd.modules-load=i2c-dev rd.modules-load=i2c-i801 rd.modules-load=i2c-smbus

Searching & reading the code of ch7006.h/.c, I find ch7006 driver should be setting the S-Video out port to full power usage when any chip ID version is >= 0x20.  Since this is 0x50 (?), and the chip specifications are extremely similar (if not identical after comparing the init section), this chip should be activated.

(I also ensured i2c-dev was loaded per some other rumors on the net, but doubt 
it's needed?)
