Thanks for the information, good to know.

I actually tried to experiment with pinctrl_pm_select_default_state and
pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state. I think, one solution would be to create
sleep states for all drivers. However, it's not necessary to change to a
sleep state, since the controller looses the state anyway. What would be
required is having a function which allows to force the default state
for all pinctrl settings... As far as I can tell, there is no such
functionality currently...? Linus?
