In Coreboot BIOS, we are more relying on EDS spec and as COM 3 is dedicated for CPU GPIO hence we are mapping, 0/1/2/4/5 (whatever present in EDS vol 1.1)

But how would it possible to make interoperability work if there are
*different* firmwares for the *same* ACPI HID?
ACPI table is a part of protocol by which firmware sends data to the
software. If one breaks this protocol they must use another ACPI HID
for that kind of device.

See above.
So, I do not see any bug in the driver, but in firmware. In this case
FW may not use INT3455 HID.
This is my understanding, if you would like more details, ask BIOS and
ACPI teams.
