Oh, I see you're trying to check that the set of pins in the active,
sleep, and idle states are identical.

But I think that pinctrl_check_dynamic() only checks that one state is a
subset of the other, not that the two states are equal. Instead, I think
you want to comparison coded in pinctrl_check_dynamic() to be:

gen_group_list_of_pinctrl_state(s1, array1);
gen_group_list_of_pinctrl_state(s2, array2);
mismatch = memcmp(array1, array2, length);
