Perhaps making adi,idle-state an array of tuples <mux-number state> and
add adi,idle-high-impedance as an array of mux-numbers, so that my example
above would come out as:
adi,idle-high-impedance = <1>; /* mux 1 idles with high imp */
adi,idle-state = <2 0>; /* mux 2 idles in state 0 (signal A) */
mux 0 is not mentioned and idles in its previously selected state.
If you want mux 0 to idle with high impedance:
adi,idle-high-impedance = <0 1>;
adi,idle-state = <2 0>;
If you want mux 0 to idle with signal C:
adi,idle-high-impedance = <1>;
adi,idle-state = <0 3>, <2 0>;
