Hmm.. When I added the PIN_DEFAULT, I just though that do not update 
anything in the register and implemented like that.
There is nothing "default" option in HW.

In this patch, I just fixed the broken stuff due to recent change.

However, it the PIN_DEFAULT is not valid option then I need to remove it 
from driver as well as from dt document of Palmas.
