Hi Helge,

Looking into it quickly, there has been no change in the init priorities on gpio or pinmux.
board pinmux init: PRE_KERNEL_1
gpio init: POST_KERNEL
So, what seems strange also is that it had effect in v2.3.0.

Anyway, the problem still stands.

I don't see a particular reason you wouldn't not be allowed to make this call.
So the actual solution would be to change gpio driver prio to PRE_KERNEL (has to be after clock_control and interrupt_controler though)
I can't tell if there is a reason it is not the case already.

Hi.

I'm in the process of updating Zephyr from v2.3.0 to v2.4.0-rc1 and I've seen an unexpected change.

I have a custom board, and in the pinmux initialization I'm using the GPIO API to set some pins that need early initialization:

static int pinmux_stm32_init(const struct device *port)
{
ARG_UNUSED(port);
stm32_setup_pins(pinconf, ARRAY_SIZE(pinconf));

const struct device *porti = device_get_binding("GPIOI");
gpio_pin_configure(porti, 11, GPIO_OUTPUT_HIGH);
gpio_pin_configure(porti, 12, GPIO_OUTPUT_HIGH);

return 0;
}

This works with v2.3.0.
With v2.4.0-rc1 it builds without warnings, but when I try to run it on target it crashes during initialization.

During my debugging I've found that the GPIO API is in fact initialized _after_ the pinmux initialization, so that might be an issue.

Questions:
1. Is this supposed to work? (using GPIO API from within pinmux_stm32_init())
2. If not, what is the proper way of setting a pin high or low at this stage of the initialization sequence? stm32_setup_pins() only sets pin configurations, not actual pin value. (I can of course write directly to GPIO registers, but there's gotta be a better way)

Thanks,
Helge
