We have a Link tag for such references.

card detect is a right term.

This is incorrect. _DSD for GPIOs without any accompanying _CRS
doesn't make any sense.

Yes.

And no. Instead of this part you need to provide an ACPI GPIO mapping table.

See examples, like
net/rfkill/rfkill-gpio.c

(look for acpi_rfkill_default_gpios)
