The pinmux_basic_api test relies on a hardware loopback, manual
shorting of two GPIO pins. The Zephyr test framework does not allow
currently to define such pins in a generic way. The pinmux_basic_api
test hard codes pin numbers specific to a few evaluation boards.
The test has a few more flaws and limitations:
GPIO driver. It doesn't verify that pin configured to function B can
be contorolled by a corresponding peripheral driver.
always available.
function B.
shorting the outputs.
Considering the flaws and limited coverage of the test as well as
missing features of the Zephyr test framework this commit removes the
testcase. It is not currently possible to write a generic pinmux
testcase that supports multiple boards and can be used to assess the
quality of the driver. Instead, to ensure the driver code will not
degrade, we need to rely on implicit testing done by the board
initialization code located in boards/ folder.
