Why are the dedicated HPS I/O output pins for Intel Agilex® 7 SoC FPGA incorrectly assigned in the pinout report (.pin file)?

Description

Due to a problem with the fitter inside the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 20.3 to 21.4, the dedicated HPS I/O output pins will be placed in the wrong pin locations. This will be reflected in the pinout report (.pin file) that is generated by the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software during the fitter stage.
