Documentation: gpio: Update ACPI part of the document to mention _DSD

With ACPI 5.1 _DSD (Device Specific Data) it is now possible to name
functions just like Device Tree is doing. Make sure that the documentation
mentions _DSD as the recommended way to describe GPIOs in ACPI systems.

ACPI
----
ACPI does not support function names for GPIOs. Therefore, only the "idx"
argument of gpiod_get_index() is useful to discriminate between GPIOs assigned
to a device. The "con_id" argument can still be set for debugging purposes (it
will appear under error messages as well as debug and sysfs nodes).
ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT.
The above DT example can be converted to an equivalent ACPI description
with the help of _DSD (Device Specific Data), introduced in ACPI 5.1:
Device (FOO) {
Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
"\\_SB.GPI0") {15} // red
GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
"\\_SB.GPI0") {16} // green
GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
"\\_SB.GPI0") {17} // blue
GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
"\\_SB.GPI0") {1} // power
})
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
Package () {
Package () {
"led-gpios",
Package () {
^FOO, 0, 0, 1,
^FOO, 1, 0, 1,
^FOO, 2, 0, 1,
}
},
Package () {
"power-gpios",
Package () {^FOO, 3, 0, 0},
},
}
})
}
