That would work, but when the loop is done the end result would be
exactly the same. The only difference is that the above would rapidly
"blink" the different states during the loop until it arrives at the
result. This would certainly be different, but it can never be the
intended behaviour and only a side-effect on how the pinctrl framework
works. The order the different states are blinked depends entirely on
how the pinctrl framework parses the device tree. I still think it
would be more natural to cleanly go to the end result without this
blinking.
