I foresee mass > confusion, but perhaps I'm being pessimistic. I'm hoping we can automate the runtime PM handling with default/active/idle completely from the consumer driver point of view. And then when that's working, we can probably deprecate any runtime PM related handling using pinctr_select_state() and print warnings. And we can also improve the documentation so no new users will use the default/idle/sleep for runtime PM unless they really want to.
