On non dt I agree but on DT the gpio are not mux in the kernel.
Today it work if the bootloader mux it as gpio so the kernel work onther wise BUG

and this is the case today

forget to cc the devicetree but on at91 the pintcrl and gpio use the same

As I've a huge patch series that I'm finishing to fix after found this bug on
