I don't fully understand your question. One can build SeaBIOS as a
Compatibility Support Module (CSM) for UEFI, and this has been tested
with OVMF on virtual machines. It's theoretically also possible to
use it as a CSM on real hardware with a UEFI payload on coreboot, but
to the best of my knowledge that has never been tested. When SeaBIOS
is used as a CSM module, it provides legacy 16bit BIOS support on UEFI
machines to bootloaders and option roms that require that support.
The only link I have for SeaBIOS CSM is:
