I'm thinking what the callers are going to do with the error code.
Basically it means that we were not able to attach and configure ACPI
event GPIOs. It does not prevent GPIO drivers from functioning so they
probably just print out some warning message and continue probing, and
we already warn in acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts() if something fails.

Unless Linus W insists, let's just keep it as is for now :)
