This would make the driver to check if all the sources are disconnected
each time someone disconnects a source. Which in first place is not
efficient, but also dpll design already allows different driver instances to
control separated sources, which in this case would force a driver to implement
additional communication between the instances just to allow such hidden
FREERUN mode.
Which seems another argument not to do this in the way you are proposing:
inefficient and unnecessarily complicated.

We know that you could also implement FREERUN mode by disconnecting all the
sources, even if HW doesn't support it explicitly.

The user didn't change the mode, the mode shall not change.
You wrote to do it silently, so user didn't change the mode but it would have
changed, and we would have pretended the different working mode of DPLL doesn't
exist.

IMHO this is wrong and comes from the definition of pin state DISCONNECTED,
which is not sharp, for our HW means that the input will not be considered
as valid input, but is not disconnecting anything, as input is still
monitored and measured.
Shall we have additional mode like PIN_STATE_NOT_SELECTABLE? As it is not
possible to actually disconnect a pin..

We don't disconnect anything, we used a pin state DISCONNECTED as this seemed
most appropriate.

No, you were saying that the mode doesn't exist and that your hardware doesn't
support it. At the same time it can be achieved by manually disconnecting all
the sources.

Our hardware can support in total 4 modes, and 2 are now supported in ice.
I don't get the idea for abstraction of hardware switches, modes or
capabilities, and having those somehow achievable through different
functionalities.

I think we already discussed this long enough to make a decision..
Though I am not convinced by your arguments, and you are not convinced by mine.

Perhaps someone else could step in and cut the rope, so we could go further
with this?

Thank you!
