Yes they stay at 0x42. And it seems you've configured the UART
idle timeouts too.

Hmm that does not sound right at all for the GPIOs. The pm_wkup
interrupt triggers every time you hit wfi pretty much, so that
should be OK.

I have not seen that issue last time I checked. Sorry won't
be able to test it until Thursday, maybe there's some GPIO
regression now.
