What does "change" mean above?

Please reword to "remux" if that is what is meant.

Do you mean multiple default states?

I have a hard time understanding so please help me out :-/

Toggled when?

When changing state to another one? Any other state? Or back to
this state? Sorry not following ... this needs to be more verbose.

This needs some very precise kerneldoc so it is chrystal clear what these
states are all about. "pinctrl_states" is not a good name for this enum,
please find some more precise name, because we have functions
with names like pinctrl_select_state() which is not related to this.

Is this substates or?

How can more than one state be the current state? Sorry I don't get this.
This needs to be more precise I think.
