Yes that can be done. However, that would mean that we always install the
operation region handler even if there is no suitable GPIO driver loaded.
With this patch we install the handler once the GPIO driver for this device
is registered. If nothing is registered no handlers will be installed.

What would be the advantage in doing what you propose?

I think we still need that for ACPI _EVT handling.
