During power sequence, GPIO hardware registers could be lost if the power
supply is switched off. Each device using pinctrl API is in charge of
managing pins during suspend/resume sequences. But for pins used as gpio or
irq stm32 pinctrl driver has to save the hardware configuration.
Each register will be saved at runtime and restored during resume sequence.

Both patches applied.

On the same pinctrl devel branch is also Benjamin's patches to support
the "link_consumers" property on the pin controller descriptor to
enable links from pin control consumers back to their pin controller
suppliers, especially important for STMFX.

Would you please check if it work fine if you turn on this feature
for the SoC STM32 pin controller?

I just tested with Benjamin's patches and set "link_consumers" property for STM32 pinctrl. No changes on boot (except extra logs for each probe) and no changes on power tests too.

I am working a bit on refining the patches, so I want to enable testing
with some SoC pin controllers as well and possibly make the
behavior default.
