On a related theme: I am thinking about how to support preserving
drive strength (etc) across suspend/resume and deepsleep in the
pincontrol subsystem.

Currently I am playing with the idea to let pin groups have states,
as the different configurations seem to be 90% or so about very
specific sleep modes, so say:

pinconf_set_group_state("mmcgroup", PINCONF_STATE_ACTIVE);
pinconf_set_group_state("mmcgroup", PINCONF_STATE_SUSPENDED);
pinconf_set_group_state("mmcgroup", PINCONF_STATE_SLEEP);

This would then instruct each pin controller driver to configure
each pin apropriately for the given state, and that cross-references
to a table keeping track of the preset per-pin for each state.

My intuitive idea is that letting the core keep track of the state of
every pin and letting pin groups harness the settings for a group
of pins is the proper approach to the problem.

Do you think something like this will work for the S5P:s?

Yours,
