You're right, the whole block is switched.
The unused data pin can still be configured as a GPIO, as the GPSR register
(to select between GPIO and IP function) takes precedence.
Linus/Laurent: I assume the GPIO also takes precedence in the Linux pinctrl
subsystem, or would it return an error, as the pin is claimed by the IP group?
