Sorry for coming late in the GPIO ACPI discussion, but when I see this
documentation, I wonder:
wouldn't it be feasible to find the correct GPIO by its type? Here, we
have a GpioIo and a GpioInt, and I bet this would be sometime more
useful to request the first GpioInt without knowing the correct order
of declarations.

It may be feasible by walking the tree, but a helper would be of great
help (thinking at i2c-hid here, which can not rely on indexes in the
DSDT).

Cheers,
Benjamin
