On second thought, while reading patch 3, when would this be used?

While both patch 2 and 3 are convenient ways to get around the annoyance
of having to specify a pinmux state both patches then ends up relying on
some default pinconf state; which I think is bad.


Further more in situations like i2c-qup (downstream), where the pins are
requested as gpios in order to "bitbang" a reset this would mean that
the driver has to counter the convenience; by either switching in the
default pinmux at the end of probe or postponing the gpio_request() to
the invocation of reset and then, after issuing the gpio_release,
switching in the default pinmux explicitly again.


So I'm not sure we want this.
