OK. Is there something that can be done at the serdes_mux?
As per bindings/mux/mmio-mux.txt

Optional properties:
- idle-states : if present, the state the muxes will have when idle. The
special state MUX_IDLE_AS_IS is the default.

Could that be used?

Yes, enabled in the SoC. EVM is supposed to disable nodes that are not required.
