Thanks for your comments.

I've prepared diagram to illustrate how does this work:

The "Sleep" pinctrl state is optional - if "sleep" state isn't defined
then "Idle" pinctrl state will be used during suspend.

As per above pinctrl state transition diagram - I think, that:
- if "idle" or "sleep" states are defined then "active" state have to be 
defined too.
So, pinctrl core should detect such situation and generate a warning.

 From my point of view, we should have "active" state - it would allow 
to avoid additional
runtime overhead and handle properly the case when drivers are used as 
loadable modules.
In this case, after boot, device's pinctrl registers can have HW default 
values (after reset) or
can be configured to some safe (off) state from board file (board's 
"default" configuration).
Driver module will activate its PINs when loaded and need to restore 
safe (off) PINs state when
unloaded.
As result, it seems, we should have "off" state which can be used when 
driver's module is removed.

So, final list of default pnctrl states may be defined as "default", 
"active", "idle", "sleep", "off":
- "active", "idle", "sleep": will be handled by omap_device core
- "default", "off": will be handled by driver itself (or Device core).
