The scripts and driver should get the GPIO IO address from the 5536 PCI cfg header instead of hard coding the address.
coreboot can allocate the GPIO space to any address. A quick try could be made by checking lspci.

GPIO is BAR1 (offset 0x14) in the 5536.

You can find some example GPIO setup in coreboot at src/southbridge/amd/cs5536/cs5536.c. It uses GPIOs for UARTs.
