Right the issue is that with the legacy-pic path disabled /
with nr_legacy_irqs() returning 0 them there is no mapping
added for the Legacy ISA IRQs which causes this problem.

My hack to set nr_legacy_irqs to 16 also for the NULL PIC from:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218003

Does cause the Legacy ISA IRQ mappings to get added and makes
the GPIO controller actually work, as can be seen from:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=305241&action=edit

Which is a dmesg with that hack and it does NOT have this error:

[    0.276113] amd_gpio AMDI0030:00: error -EINVAL: IRQ index 0 not found
[    0.278464] amd_gpio: probe of AMDI0030:00 failed with error -22

and the reporter also reports the touchpad works with this patch.

As Thomas already said the legayc PIC really is not necessary,
but what is still necessary on these laptops with the legacy PIC
not initialized is to have the Legacy ISA IRQ mappings added
by the kernel itself since these are missing from the MADT
(if I have my ACPI/IOAPIC terminology correct).

This quick hack (which is the one from the working dmesg)
does this:

--- a/arch/x86/kernel/i8259.c	
+++ a/arch/x86/kernel/i8259.c	
@@ -394,7 +394,7 @@ static int legacy_pic_probe(void)
 }
 
 struct legacy_pic null_legacy_pic = {
-	.nr_legacy_irqs = 0,
+	.nr_legacy_irqs = NR_IRQS_LEGACY,
 	.chip = &dummy_irq_chip,
 	.mask = legacy_pic_uint_noop,
 	.unmask = legacy_pic_uint_noop,

But I believe this will break things when there are actually
non legacy ISA IRQs / GSI-s using GSI numbers < NR_IRQS_LEGACY

Thomas, I'm not at all familiar with this area of the kernel,
but would checking if the MADT defines any non ISA GSIs under
16 and if NOT use nr_legacy_irqs = NR_IRQS_LEGACY for the
NULL PIC be an option?

Or maybe some sort of DMI (sys_vendor == Lenovo) quirk to
set nr_legacy_irqs = NR_IRQS_LEGACY for the NULL PIC ?

Regards,

Hans
