Are there valid cases where only function should be selected and no
other configuration is used? If so it makes sense to make
pmic_gpio_set_mux() enable the block.


Regardless of this, if there are disabled pins that are not mentioned in
DT they will still appear as enabled in the debugfs interface; and this
I consider an error worth fixing.
