I also think so, looking at pinctrl_lookup_state, it seems to just match
strings and return a pointer. No refcounts or other state change involved
that I can see. Either way, the preexisting code would have the same issue
so it would be orthogonal and fodder for another patch...

Yes, that is perfectly fine. The only issue is wasting space for one extra
pointer.

Thanks!
