[why] When there are multiple aux transaction in parallel, it is sometime sporadically the aux transaction starts to continuously fail. The aux transaction was failing because the busy bit for the given gpio pin was always set. The busy bit was alway set because the programming sequence to read, modify and write busy bit was not atomic. Due to which when multiple threads are trying to modify the busy bits for their gpio pins in the same integer variable sometimes the busy bits integer variable is written with old data causing failure. [how] Instead of using individual bits to track gpio pins and grouping them to integers, one byte will be allcoated for each gpio pin. Now whenever a gpio pin needs to be set to mark being used, only writing a value of one to that byte is sufficient, other bytes are not impacted. Also no need to have atomicity with bytes unlike with bits.
