Oh right, I'd forgotten about that check at this stage in the patch
series.

Later in the series, this restriction is removed; each setting in a state
is completely independent, and could easily program a different function
onto each group, or the same function. At this stage in the series, a
struct pinctrl can't represent everything that a set of mapping table
entries can, but later struct pinctrl is fully capable.

I guess the solution here is to just make this patch introduce the
PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT define, but defer most usage of it until later
in the series when this restriction is removed.

Note that if you apply all my patches together, you should find that
U300 is unbroken, so you can at least test everything. Actually
committing that probably isn't a good idea since it'll break git bisect
for a little while though.
