The concept looks sane...

If you're only going to call this from within gpiolib, why are
you EXPORTing the APIs?

I think we should maybe create drivers/gpio/gpiolib.h
for such subsystem-local headers.

What happens on a platform that is not using CONFIG_GPIO_ACPI
when they try to compile this?

You forgot to add static inline stubs for the non-ACPI case.
