Maybe there is some misunderstanding regarding my statement in previous discussion.
I quoted "IO Pad" based on the statement in Databook CFG[1][10:7] for AON register.
>From the Databook itself with additional confirmation from Keem Bay HW SOC Design Architect,
there is no direct control of these AON register bits from GPIO pads.
