I tried to find an answer.

A doc for this SoC says that i2s clock pins should be at output-low
(2 mA) when muxed to the i2s_xxx function, with no information about
bias settings (perhaps bias-disable), and in sleep they should be the
same (minus the drive strength note, but 2mA is the lowest setting)

I am further confused because the output-enable bit in the cfg
register specifically says "when in GPIO mode"
