The API name suggests that power state is set based on a pin group.
For a driver, the following could be convenient as the driver transits
through various power management states.
struct pinmux pmx;
pmx = pinmux_get(dev, "i2c0");
[...]
pinmux_set_state(pmx, PINCONF_STATE_SLEEP);
[...]
pinmux_set_state(pmx, PINCONF_STATE_ACTIVE);

Adding the responsibility of managing/configuring registers for
different power states to a pin group does seem suitable for Exynos.
Along with the pin list, a implementation of a pin group could include
a callback to manage the registers for a particular pin state. Such a
callback could be reused for all the pin groups as required.
