Question about STM32L051x6 pin uses

On the STM32L051x6 datasheet it is written "PB9/12/13/14/15, PH0/1 and PC13 GPIOs should be configured as output and driven Low, even if they are not available on

this package" but in the "notes" space of the pin register descrpition there is no reference to this note. Anyway, since the packages are small i need to use to use those pins as I/O.

What are the risks, if i use them as standard I/O? What exactly means "Should be" in a techincal datasheet without a clear description of the conseguencies?

I apologise that this has been expressed in a somewhat misleading way: The footnote refers exclusively to the WLCSP36 package. The GPIOs are present on the chip, but not bonded and led out on this particular enclosure. To avoid interferences one should set up the mentioned pins according to the footnote if the WLCSP36 is used.

Does it answer your question?
