making GPIO P0.10 and P0.11 as normal GPIO in nrf5340

Question

Hello, 
 I want to use P0.10 and P0.11 for SPI purpose for my custom nrf5340 board. 
 
 But when I clear the forwarder property for these pins from the pin editor gui, I am getting below error. 
 devicetree error: 'gpios' is marked as required in 'properties:' in F:/PROJECT/v2.3.0/zephyr/dts/bindings\gpio
ordic,nrf-gpio-forwarder.yaml, but does not appear in <Node /nrf-gpio-forwarder/uart in 'F:/PROJECT/v2.3.0/zephyr/misc/empty_file.c'>

CMake Error at F:/PROJECT/v2.3.0/zephyr/cmake/modules/dts.cmake:231 (message):

 How can I solve this ? I don't want any log to be printed from the network core.

If your overlay is relying on the nrf5340dk make sure to add the following otherwise P1.0, P1.0, P0.11, P0.10 will be forwarded to the network core for uart.

&gpio_fwd {
 status = "disabled";
};
