OK, I'll have a think about this, although I'm not sure how much it can
be split up. We can add the ACPI device property names in a separate
patch and maybe add the match table as a final step, but the GPIO
mapping and probe changes depend on each other.

Yes, these are ABI. I'll add explicit values.

I'm not sure we want to accept undocumented properties in the DT case.
I went looking for other drivers that have different property names for
ACPI and DT and the only example I could find is:

drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-main.c

In that case there are separate functions for parsing DT and ACPI
properties. Having separate functions would have made this patch a lot
clearer, so if we keep the separation between DT and ACPI I'll make that
change for the next round.

The ideal might be to have something similar to the ACPI GPIO mapping
support so that the ACPI device property code could handle the different
names, but that feels like overkill if there are only two drivers that
use different property names in DT and ACPI.
