Thanks!

So, let me clarify what we have:
 - some platforms are in the wild with old BIOS with broken ACPI tables
 - you still may fix the things for new BIOS version for all affected platforms
 - you need to support both

Is this all correct?

For broken firmware you need to do the following:
 - create an MFD driver, which would instantiate GPIO and GPIO keys
support (at least)
 - create one of each above drivers w/o any DMI crap (should be done
as a part of MFD driver)

For fixed BIOS you need to add the following (example, not a fully
correct solution) at the level behind SB:

Scope (SB)
{
  Device(GPIO)
  {
           Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
           Name (_HID, "AMDxxxx") // One ID per platform, so, APU2 :
1, APU 3: 1 => 2 unique IDs, in this case no need to add neither _HRV
nor _UID
           Name (_HRV, 2)          // Other approach is to have one ID
but different _HRV: e.g. 2 for APU2, 3 for APU3
           Name (_UID, Zero)        // Another approach is to have one
device per community of pins and several _UID:s
           Name (_DDN, "AMD APU General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) controller")
           Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
           {
               Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
               {
                   Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite,
                       0xFED80000 // + offset + community0 offset
                       0x0000xxxx, // + size of the community0
                       )

                       0xFED80000 // + offset + communityN offset
                       0x0000xxxx, // + size of the communityN
                       )
                   /* IRQ resource if needed and present on real HW */
                   Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveLow, Shared, ,, )
                   {
                       0x000000xx,
                   }
               })
               Return (RBUF) /* \_SB_.GPIO._CRS.RBUF */
           }

           Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
           {
               Return (0x0F)
           }

After updating firmware you would need just an ACPI ID table to be
added to the GPIO driver. MFD driver should not be enumerated at all.
