So, if I understand correctly, it could be as simple as that:
}

- if (old_state) {
- list_for_each_entry(setting, &old_state->settings, node) {
- bool found = false;
- if (setting->type != PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP)
- continue;
- list_for_each_entry(setting2, &state->settings, node) {
- if (setting2->type != PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP)
- continue;
- if (setting2->data.mux.group ==
- setting->data.mux.group) {
- found = true;
- break;
- }
- }
- if (!found)
- pinmux_enable_setting(setting);
- }
- }
-
p->state = old_state;
+
+ if (old_state)
+ pinctrl_select_state_locked(p, NULL);
+
return ret;
}
