This is a challenge indeed.

Every family > F1 offers much more flexible in pin remapping than F1. You no
longer remap en-bloc but pin for pin. Look at the UART how I implemented it
there. However for the many pins involved with the different mac access
options (RMII, MII, SMII(?)) the possiblities and so the code will
explode. So the present code only implement to "en-bloc" remap.

There was also the discussion that selecting the pin mapping in the
configurator is deprecated. So maybe the approach I used for the USART must
be reimplemented too at some point. But I think, the discussion had no final
outcome.
