This looks like a "default" mode. Is that correct?
I.e. do you set up this on probe then do not touch it?
It seems some of the problems come from the insistance to use a single
node for all configuration. Compare to this nomadik:
i2c0 {
i2c0_default_mux: i2c0_mux {
i2c0_default_mux {
function = "i2c0";
groups = "i2c0_a_1";
};
};
i2c0_default_mode: i2c0_default {
i2c0_default_cfg {
pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2";
input-enable;
};
};
};
It is easy to imagine:
i2c0 {
i2c0_default_mux: i2c0_mux {
i2c0_default_mux {
function = "i2c0";
groups = "i2c0_a_1";
};
};
i2c0_default_mode: i2c0_default {
i2c0_default_cfg {
pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2";
input-enable;
};
};
i2c0_default_mode_sleep: i2c0_default_sleep {
i2c0_default_cfg {
pins = "GPIO62_D3", "GPIO63_D2";
sleep-hardware-state;
input-disable;
};
};
};
Notice the new bool property "sleep-hardware-state" that just
indicate that this should be programmed into the registers for
the sleep state.

The state you should use for initial configuration should be called
just "init".

Like "default"?

I'm not so sure about that. Having a lot more sleep,* config options
may be even more inconvenient for users, and especially for the
community of developers as a whole.
Several config nodes on the other hand, we have had in the pin
control subsystem since day 1.
