I am not sure how this works, but with dynamic transitioning, will it
be possible to program the pinmux registers dynamically when a
driver/controller decides to idle for sometime and come back up again
(not a system wide suspend-resume cycle). There might be a need for
the driver to inform the pinmux subsystem of this case and allow the
pinmux subsystem to re-program pinmux registers as required.
