That seems a more consistent driver-oriented API, yes.

I'd of course lean towards adding the pin config data into the mapping
table, and using the existing feature struct pinmux_map name field to
name those states, and allowing dynamic transitioning between states,
rather than adding a complete new API and namespace for these states.
