Surely, we can hide some setting with definitely setting like
RS232/RS485, but the settings is only apply to our evaluation board.

Some customers will use our F81532/534 with other brand transceiver IC.
The pins setting maybe changed, so we decided to separate UART & pins
settings and let the 3 output pins controllable for customer.

Could I preserve currently UART & pins setting mode ?

The 4x3 pins is output-only mode to control transceiver, so I'm only
implement the output functions and let all input functions failed.

Could you give some advices to me if the gpiolib interface cant be
used ?

Sorry for late reply, I'm almost ready to submit v6 when clarify some
questions.

Thanks,
