I think you missed the point of my comment. I think the new comment text
is incorrect. Instead, how about replacing the entire comment with:

/*
 * For each pinmux setting in the old state, forget SW's record of mux
 * owner for that pingroup. Any pingroups which are still owned by the
 * new state will be re-acquired by the call to pinmux_enable_setting()
 * in the loop below.

I thought Tony said it was fine to simply remove pinctrl-single's
ops->disable code completeley.

I guess splitting that into separate patches is fine.
