I undertatnd you use default config for power management optimisation, is it
not?
so you need to set different state in the device instead of using hogs.
default, sleep, etc..
I get an other issue too I have the same pin requested more than one time by
multiple driver.
As thoses pins are used for external memory interface, but they have the same
config. The current pinctrl implementation does not allow share pin.
