GPIO2 is dedicated for WISMO_READY and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.

GPIO4 is dedicated for TX burst indication and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.

When GPIO5 is used as a general purpose output, it is necessary to have an external pull up resistor connecting to a 2.8V
source. Resistance value depends on the current drain required by the application side.
