Correct. These configurations were not consider at that time when code was 
written. The same issue is there if you want to combine pins from different 
groups. IIRC uart rx via MIOX and tx not from MIOX+1.

The only question is if this can be done without changing TF-A code because we 
are running out of space in OCM for it.

Just a generic question to your problem. It doesn't sound like a dynamic case. 
You have static assignment for pins which likely won't change over lifecycle. 
QSPI can be even boot device. Do you really need to describe pins via DT that it 
is not enough to have them configured via psu_init directly?
Driver has been developed for i2c bus recovery via gpio which was the main 
application. Right now Kria SOM is using it for carrier card pins configuration.
And Kria is pretty much only platform where this is regularly tested.

Thanks,
