It doesn't do any pin control nor muxing and I'm not sure if it is

GpioIo/GpioInt resources?

How are the pin muxes normally configured in ACPI? All of our GPIOs have a pinmux on them, and so if you want to use the pin for the non-default functionality, you need to configure the mux. Isn't that supposed to happen with the through the pinctrl driver? That is, when the kernel parses the ASL, and it seems a command to configure pin #3 to function #4, it calls the local pinctrl driver to do that?
