Well, such a feature doesn't exist yet.

But, I envisaged extending the existing:

pmx = pinmux_get()
pinmux_enable(pmx)
...
pinmux_disable(pmx)
pinmux_put(pmx)

to something like:

pmx = pinmux_get(active)
pinmux_enable(pmx)
...
pinmux_switch(suspend)
...
pinmux_switch(active)
...
pinmux_disable(pmx)
pinmux_put(pmx)

(I think LinusW proposed an alternative a while back last time we talked
about this)

This has received only limited discussion though, and there are probably
many gotchas to think through; I imagine any such feature is a way off.
