Sorry about the delay.

The GEXP device is most probably a GPIO expander that is connected to
one of the I2C buses. And it indeed looks to use directly the I2C host
controller registers so kernel rightfully complains about that.

Are you able to run Windows on that machine? If yes, it would be nice to
know if the INT3446 I2C device is shown in the device manager.

Try to pass "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" in the kernel command line.
