 * Some GPIO features are less than optimal:
 * - Pad/port toggling operations are not atomic.
 * - Pull-up and Pull-down resistors cannot be programmed through the PAL
 *   driver and must be programmed separately using the IOCON peripheral.
 * - Reading of the output latch for pads programmed as input is not possible,
 *   the input pin value is returned instead.
