The difference is that the evt_pins data is only needed for _EVT execution,
because _EVT takes the pin argument.  _Lxx/_Exx don't take arguments and
there's no need to add extra data structures for them, as devm_ does what's
needed.

Of course, plain request/free_irq may be used for the _EVT events only
at the expense of a little more complexity in acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts().
