I have checked the code, so it allows you to define from 0 up to all
lines, but no gaps.
Thus, I have dropped '...' line in above excerpt, added the compiled
AML to initramfs (initrd method) and voila!

% gpioinfo gpiochip1
gpiochip1 - 77 lines:
       line   0:      "Line0"       unused   input  active-high
       line   1:      "Line1"       unused   input  active-high
       line   2:      "Line2"       unused   input  active-high
       line   3:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high


% gpiofind Line2
gpiochip1 2

Of course you may convert _DSD to be a Method and fill the line names
dynamically with help of ASL.
