Is that correct? I.e. do you set up this on probe then do not touch it? It seems some of the problems come from the insistance to use a single node for all configuration. Compare to this nomadik: i2c0 { i2c0_default_mux: i2c0_mux { i2c0_default_mux { function = "i2c0"; groups = "i2c0_a_1"; }; }; i2c0_default_mode: i2c0_default { i2c0_default_cfg { pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2"; input-enable; }; }; }; It is easy to imagine: i2c0 { i2c0_default_mux: i2c0_mux { i2c0_default_mux { function = "i2c0"; groups = "i2c0_a_1"; }; }; i2c0_default_mode: i2c0_default { i2c0_default_cfg { pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2"; input-enable; }; }; i2c0_default_mode_sleep: i2c0_default_sleep { i2c0_default_cfg { pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2"; sleep-hardware-state; input-disable; }; }; }; Notice the new bool property "sleep-hardware-state" that just indicate that this should be programmed into the registers for the sleep state. > But If we create one extra "sleep-xxx" state for sleep-related configs, > it will be like: > > grp1: regctrl3 { > pins = "SC9860_RFCTL30", "SC9860_RFCTL31"; > function = "func1"; > sprd,sleep-mode = <0x3>; > }; > > sleep-input: input_grp { > pins = "SC9860_RFCTL30", "SC9860_RFCTL31", "SC9860_RFCTL32"; > input-enable; > }; > > pinctrl-names = "sleep-input"; > pinctrl-0 = <&sleep-input>; > > "sleep-input" state will be selected when initializing pinctrl driver, The state you should use for initial configuration should be called just "init". > "grp1" > will be selected by user to set other pin configuration. Like "default"? > Then we need config "SC9860_RFCTL30" pin in 2 different places, which is > more inconvenient for users. I'm not so sure about that. Having a lot more sleep,* config options may be even more inconvenient for users, and especially for the community of developers as a whole. Several config nodes on the other hand, we have had in the pin control subsystem since day 1.
