Using GPIOs should be optional. Gpiolib stubs functions out whenever it
is not enabled.

However, I made a mistake when GPIOs are fed to the driver. If gpiolib
is not enabled acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() returns -ENXIO and prevents
your touchpad from working.

I think it is alright to ignore the error here. Can you try if below
patch helps?
