Why power down values cannot be used for sleep state? Why you need
separate pin control state? If pins values should match power down
configuration, then they could just be added to default state, couldn't
they?
Separate sleep state is needed because of the pin control bindings and
design.
A separate sleep state is required to let pin control client driver (in
this case
Exynos I2S driver) let to choose when it is okay to switch pads into sleep
state and I see no other way to achieve this.
In the patch 2/9, existing configuration:
716 i2s0_bus: i2s0-bus {
(...)
719 samsung,pin-function = <EXYNOS_PIN_FUNC_2>;
720 samsung,pin-pud = <EXYNOS_PIN_PULL_NONE>;
721 samsung,pin-drv = <EXYNOS5420_PIN_DRV_LV1>;
722 };
additional configuration:
+ i2s0_bus_slp: i2s0-bus-slp {
+ samsung,pin-function = <EXYNOS_PIN_FUNC_INPUT>;
+ samsung,pin-pud = <EXYNOS_PIN_PULL_NONE>;

+ samsung,pin-con-pdn = <EXYNOS_PIN_PDN_INPUT>;
+ samsung,pin-pud-pdn = <EXYNOS_PIN_PULL_NONE>;
+ samsung,off-state;
+ };
I agree that it would be possible to get rid of "samsung,off-state"
property and
just detect off state when func/pud pair matches power down func/pud.

What do you mean by "notifying RPM subsystem"? Either this is
description of hardware in certain mode (sleep state) or this is not
device tree property.
Maybe I wrote the description with a view too limited to the kernel
operation
perspective, but if we remove the need to mark state as off, the above
description
will not be needed.
