Dmitry is correct. A mux consumer is supposed to keep the mux selected
while it needs the mux to remain in a certain state. Relying on details
such as idle as-is and that no other consumer butts in and clobbers the
state is fragile. Mux access is not exclusive, at least not until a
mux state is selected.
