You can detect this via resolving the GPIOs and seeing if it points back
to something that's already in use for an enable.  This isn't ideal
especially if you want to do it up front but it is doable.  You could
also just assume anything might end up being shared and rather than
doing it up front which is easier and probably about as good.
