Meanwhile, can we see the DSDT excerpt(s) that shows how you use these
resources there?

Also note, we need some clarification to be done in the ACPI specification
regarding the numbering schema, used in those resources. TL;DR: for Gpio*()
the number space is GPIO, for Pin*() is pin control (real pin numbering,
since not all of them can be GPIOs and GPIO can have its own additional
layer of numbering mapping).
