That's a bummer. Looking for Björn's review on this patch.

The ACPI table or the device tree property "gpios" right?

(But maybe this system is only using ACPI.)

I think using "lsgpio" fron tools/gpio/lsgpio.c is better to inspect
the available GPIOs.

If you haven't tested the GPIO tools, please try it out.
