Pin control requests from drivers
=================================
-When a device driver is about to probe the device core will automatically
-attempt to issue ``pinctrl_get_select_default()`` on these devices.
+When a device driver is about to probe, the device core attaches the
+standard states if they are defined in the device tree by calling
+``pinctrl_bind_pins()`` on these devices.
+Possible standard state names are: "default", "init", "sleep" and "idle".
+
+- if ``default`` is defined in the device tree, it is selected before
+ device probe.
+
+- if ``init`` and ``default`` are defined in the device tree, the "init"
+ state is selected before the driver probe and the "default" state is
+ selected after the driver probe.
+
+- the ``sleep`` and ``idle`` states are for power management and can only
+ be selected with the PM API bellow.
+
+PM interfaces
+=================
+PM runtime suspend/resume might need to execute the same init sequence as
+during probe. Since the predefined states are already attached to the
+device, the driver can activate these states explicitly with the
+following helper functions:
+
+- ``pinctrl_pm_select_default_state()``
+- ``pinctrl_pm_select_init_state()``
+- ``pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state()``
+- ``pinctrl_pm_select_idle_state()``
+
+For example, if resuming the device depend on certain pinmux states
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ foo_suspend()
+ {
+ /* suspend device */
+ ...
+
+ pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state(dev);
+ }
+
+ foo_resume()
+ {
+ pinctrl_pm_select_init_state(dev);
+
+ /* resuming device */
+ ...
+
+ pinctrl_pm_select_default_state(dev);
+ }
+
This way driver writers do not need to add any of the boilerplate code
of the type found below. However when doing fine-grained state selection

+Another case is when the pinctrl needs to switch to a certain mode during
