Aha so it's actually automatic sleep modes, not power down
(as in, disconnect the power and then push the "on" button to
get it back up).

Please remember to document it per above in the code and the
device tree, so everybody understands what it is.

I see. Yes that is different.

You might want to have a debugfs file in your driver for inspecting
them though, that sounds like it could be helpful. I'd recommend
augmenting your .pin_config_dbg_show() callback in the
struct pinconf_ops to display this for each pin, in addition to the
current configuration.
