The PINCFG_TYPE_CON_PND and PINCFG_TYPE_PUD_PND are "mux function" and
"pull up/down" settings that are automatically applied to the pin in
powert-down mode. It is same as the usual "mux function" and "pull
up/down" settings, but just that it is applied at suspend.

I have posted the updated version of this patch series based on your
comments (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/183).

The only pending comment to be addressed at this point is about the
use of generic-pinconf as mentioned in the comment above. If
PINCFG_TYPE_CON_PND and PINCFG_TYPE_PUD_PND is available in
generic-pinconf, I wil switch to using generic-pinconf. Will that
qualify this Samsung pinctrl driver to be merged into your -devel
branch?

Thanks,
Thomas.
