My SSDT table is:

DefinitionBlock ("gpio_button.aml", "SSDT", 5, "ASEMsp", "GPIO_BTN", 1)
{
	External (_SB_.GPO1, DeviceObj)

	Scope (\_SB.GPO1)
	{
		Device (BTNS)
		{
			Name (_HID, "PRP0001")
			Name (_DDN, "GPIO buttons device")

			Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
			{
				GpioIo (
				Exclusive,               // Not shared
				PullNone,                // No need for pulls
				0,                       // Debounce timeout
				0,                       // Drive strength
				IoRestrictionInputOnly,  // Only used as input
				"\\_SB.GPO1",            // GPIO controller
				0, ResourceConsumer, , ) // Must be 0
				{
					1,              // GPIO number
				}
			})
	
			Name (_DSD, Package () {
				ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
				Package () {
					Package () {
						"gpio-line-names",
						Package () {
							"USER_PUSH_BUTTON",
						}
					},
				}
			})
		}
	}
}

And the kernel messages, after loading the table, are:

ACPI: Host-directed Dynamic ACPI Table Load:
ACPI: SSDT 0xFFFF908274285200 0000E8 (v05 ASEMsp GPIO_BTN 00000001 INTL 20200717)
ACPI: \_SB_.GPO1.BTNS: PRP0001 requires 'compatible' property

So I need a "consumer", but I don't want to export the GPIO using its number...
If you have any suggestion ...

Thanks!
