So you are actually doing a Microsoft thing here - you are assuming that the users of Pine64 will connect it wrong and therefore you are making sure that they cannot connect it wrong.
However, my impression (and this is PURELY my impression) of your users is that they know, or will find out, how to connect and program any accessory you can shoot at them. Yes, some will connect it wrong but they will find others that will help them, but most will connect it correctly and will be very happy using a module that does not take a full bus, leaving them options on how to use the rest of the pins.
I have already found help on how to connect/program accessories on this forum and your members are actually amazing at helping each-other.
Just my 2 cents
