As you probably know the PPCBoot project has been discuntinued, and all efforts are now put into the U-Boot successor project. U-Boot has support for video on MPC823, for I2C, and for IDE. Same for our kernel (module linux-2.4 in our CVS server); it includes video drivers for the MPC823, see: arch/ppc/8xx_io/lcdvideo.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video823.c arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7176.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7177.h arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7179.h As you can see, the ad7176 encoder used in your project is supported, to. And of course there are I2C and IDE drivers in this kernel, too.
