My solution is to only define the pinmux register for one pin, and skip other pins. 1. You're using GPIOA0 & GPIOA1 in two different driver. You only need to define GPIOA0 or GPIOA1 in one of driver. Don't define them at the same time. 2. You're using GPIOA0 & GPIOA1 in the same driver. You only need to define GPIOA0 or GPIOA1. 3. If you're using SPI or any other function, it's same as GPIO function. 4. There's no #4. Since you won't use GPIOA0 with SCL pin together.
