But that code is only needed if you've hacked in the port writes to
switch to IGD in the early boot code, right? It's fine as a local hack
when trying to get things working, but I don't see it as something
that's going to be mainlined. Putting togethter something we can
mainline is my goal with the patches I've got queued up in the
referenced repository.

Fwiw on the Macbook Pro 8,2, using my tree with the patches from
http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/radeon_efi/ and no port writes hacked
into early boot, the active client as seen by vga_switcheroo and
apple_gmux are the same.
