Thank you for the pseudocode, I think your method is better than mine.
I am currently rewriting the code. However, I am not clear about pin
groups: Is a "pin group" same as a "port"? Or does a group mean pins
from that group can come from different ports/GPIO controllers?

Also, I am thinking that maybe I can create an opaque type for pin mask
that BSPs will implement, instead of a specific type like
uint32_t. That type could be used as a long mask or just a pin number,
depending on the BSP.

Best,

Duc Doan
