Overall I like the idea but can we make a provision for device drivers to override
this default pin state handling?

The OMAP EHCI driver is one such special case where the wakeup mechanism is tied to pinctrl states
as it uses IO daisy chaining to implement wakeup.
So depending on whether wakeup needs to be enabled or not I must be able to chose whether
I put the pin in just "sleep" state or "sleep with wakeup" state.
