I think, it depends on what kind of hardware it is, resp, what kind of a 
driver you'd like to have. Best fit for HDMA, IMHO, is a KMS driver. If, 
however, that's too much for you and you only want a framebuffer driver, 
you might want to have a look, how HDMI support has been recently added to 
the sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c driver - both video and audio. Try to begin here 
http://search.gmane.org/?query=hdmi&group=gmane.linux.ports.sh.devel and 
look for patches from Morimoto-san and myself. But HDMI with framebuffer 
is not a very elegant combination, so, if you can, try KMS.

Good luck
