So, what about adding the following

DefinitionBlock ("linename.aml", "SSDT", 5, "", "LINENAME", 1)
{
  External (_SB_.GPO1, DeviceObj)
  Scope (\_SB.GPO1)
  {
      Name (_DSD, Package () {
          ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
          Package () {
              Package () {
                  "gpio-line-names",
                  Package () {
                      "Line0",
                      "Line1",
                      "Line2",
                      ...
                  }
              },
          }
      })
  }
}

?

(Replace '...' with meaningful line names or drop for now, but in any
case you need to provide as much names as lines of such GPIO
controller)
