Right, this is what I've been wondering too. Do we really need "idle", "sleep", "off"? Or is "idle" enough? Or "idle" and "sleep"? Only one of the should be set at a time, but it would be nice to handle most cases in a generic way in drivers/base/pinctrl.c. > If you want to drive this state list home you have to give a > *real world example*. > > I want to see a *real* example, for a device and it's pins, > that define totally different things for these states, as a > rationale.
