The ancient AGESA open sourced well over a decade ago, then closed down a few years later right about when the PSP started to appear on AMD platforms?

Or do you mean the modern AGESA binary that has zero support whatsoever in coreboot right now?

I mean AGESA that's used for new AMD CPUs.

OK, that makes sense. And yes, it causes problems for coreboot -- AIUI there are no modern AMD systems supported, because AMD has not allowed use of the AGESA blob in that way.
