Using the _CRS fallback

If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO
mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is
because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we

There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI:
desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags);
desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags);
desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags);
desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags);
We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is
provided and otherwise.
Case 1:
desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags);
Case 1::
desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags);

desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags);
