I actually thought about this when started working on the patchset.
That time saving the initial value in the idle variable seemed like a
good idea. I even put a small comment in the code about this.

Anyway lets add a new field to "struct gpiomux" structure and use
it as a container for initial value. It is also a good alternative.
I'll do this in a v2 patchset.
