Just a little bit ... sorry.

Yes they do, usually this is either passed from the platform using platform
data or handled by device tree lookups to individual drivers.

So you will have to modify each such existing driver to do ACPI
probe akin to the DT codepath and call acpi_get_gpio() on every pin they
need going forward. But that is the plan I guess.
