I think that we just need to make sure that the logic of the driver is the same as the Aspeed
Datasheet table 5.1 => Revert all settings of the higher priority function and apply the
the setting of the current function, then the pinmux will belong to that function.
I have confirmed the design logic with our designer and it can adapt to 2400 and 2500.
This concept also covers the original driver logic which invalidates the condition of the higher
priority function.

I didn't look at it.
