Yes, it is perfectly fine.

This is not about broken ACPI tables. We just currently have
"convenience" stuff in the kernel that translates trivial things like a
single ACPI GpioInt() resource directly to a device interrupt. If the
table has multiple GpioInt()s or uses GpioIo() then it is up to the
driver to handle device specific details.

The patch looks fine to me,
