Or actually, wait. You're adding quite a lot of these.

Could you try:

- Adding pins_sleep and pins_idle to struct dev_pin_info
in include/linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h

- Modify drivers/base/pinctrl.c to optionally look up
sleep and idle states, you can make that code
#ifdef CONFIG_PM I think.

- Add something like static inline functions to
include/linux/pinctrl/consumer.h
with names like pinctrl_select_pm_idle(struct device *)
pinctrl_select_pm_sleep(struct device *) to switch states
using the device core containers, and includes
checking IS_ERR() on the handles etc.

I think this will save a *lot* of identical code in all the
drivers, that will just have to call
pinctrl_select_pm_sleep(), pinctrl_select_pm_default()
pinctrl_select_pm_idle() instead of all the complex code.

This is what I planned to do but never got around to.

Please?

Yours,
