I suspect that's not actually a big deal and that if we went down this
route we'd have the driver take over control from the core code during
probe() with the core still setting up the default state.

Personally I do think we want to be factoring bolierplate out of
drivers, if they're not doing anything constructive with pinctrl they
should be able to avoid having code for it.  There definitely are issues
to work through but it seems like we ought to be able to do something.
