If the device has a gpio-controller tagged node in a device tree, it is better
to use gpio-line-names = "foo" ...; for this. For ACPI there is something
similar.

If it is spawn from this device without any GPIO child node or hardware
description outside of the kernel driver, such as
ISA/PCI or whatever, this is a good way.

This is an isa_driver and falls in the latter category, so:
