Hmm. I followed that guideline, and did the same thing than the Linux
driver, but it still doesn't work. I only found one location from where
I could successfully write to the GPIO registers, and that is
hardware_stage1() in mainboard/pcengines/alix2c3/stage.c.

When moving the same code to southbridge_init() in
southbridge/amd/cs5536/cs5536.c, the register accesses fail.

Also, when booting Linux, the LED driver does not work with coreboot
for me. The register space mapping seems to be given up at some point
on the way, but I can't figure out where and why yet. As I don't know
coreboot's internals, I'd appreciate any pointer.

Thanks,
Daniel
