What the patch did:
1.To call pinmux_disable_setting ahead of pinmux_enable_setting in
each time of
calling pinctrl_select_state
2.Remove the HW disable operation in in pinmux_disable_setting function.

The reason why to do this is that:
1.To avoid duplicated calling enable_setting operation without disabling
operation which will let Pin's desc->mux_usecount keep being added.
2.The HW pin disable operation is not useful for most of the vendors'
platform.
And this can be used to avoid the HW glitch after using the item 1#
modification.

In the following case, the issue can be reproduced:
1)There is a driver need to switch Pin state dynamicly, E.g. b/t
"sleep" and
"default" state
2)The Pin setting configuration in DTS node may be like the following
one:
component a {
pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
pinctrl-0 = <&a_grp_setting &c_grp_setting>;
pinctrl-1 = <&b_grp_setting &c_grp_setting>;
}
The "c_grp_setting" config node is totaly same, maybe like following one:
c_grp_setting: c_grp_setting {
pinctrl-single,pins = <GPIO48 AF6>;
MFP_DEFAULT;
}
3)When switching the Pin state in the following official Pinctrl
sequence:
pin = pinctrl_get();
state = pinctrl_lookup_state(wanted_state);
pinctrl_select_state(state);
pinctrl_put();

Test Result:
1)The switch is completed as expectation, that is: component's
Pins configuration are changed according to the description in the
"wanted_state" group setting
2)The "desc->mux_usecount" of corresponding Pins in "c_group" is added
without being
decreased, because the "desc" is for each physical pin while the
"setting" is
for each setting node in the DTS.
Thus, if the "c_grp_setting" in pinctrl-0 is not disabled ahead of
enabling
"c_grp_setting" in pinctrl-1, the desc->mux_usecount will be kept
added without
any chance to be decreased.

According to the comments in the original code, only the setting, in
old state
but not in new state, will be "disable"(calling
pinmux_disable_setting), which
is correct logic but not intact. We still need consider case that the
setting
is in both old state and new state.
We can do this in the following two ways:
1) Avoid "enable"(calling pinmux_enable_setting) the Same Pins setting
repeatedly.
2) "Disable"(calling pinmux_disable_setting) the "Same Pins setting",
actually
two setting instance, ahead of enabling them.

Analysis:
1.The solution 2# is better because it can avoid too much iteration.
2.If we disable all of the setting in the old state and one/ones of
the setting(s) is/are
existed in the new state, the Pin's mux function change may happen when
some SoC vendors defined the "pinctrl-single,function-off" in their
DTS file.
old_setting=>disabled_setting=>new_setting.
3.In the pinmux framework, when Pin state is switched, the setting in
the old state should be
marked as "disabled".

Conclusion:
1.To Remove the HW disabling operation to above the glitch mentioned
above.
2.Handle the issue mentioned above by disabling all of the settings in
old
state and then enable the all of the settings in new state.

Dear Stephen,

Great thanks for your suggestion about the inline comments in the patch.
I have updated the part you mentioned and the patch title.
Please help to review again.

Great to see that we almost get the goal of the long term discussion! :)

After this patch is acknowledged by you Guys, I will submit the
following two patches for you to review:
1.to remove the ops->disable registration in pinctrl-single
2.to remove the ops->disable function phandle in pinmux struct.

Great thanks for this !


Dear Guys,

Do you have any comments about the new patch ? Any suggestion is welcomed. :)

Looking forward your reply !
Great thanks for this !
