As IMX, basically i'd prefer to add pinctrl states in dts file at the same time within the patch or using a separate patch to add them before this series to avoid breaking the exist platforms.
However i noted that for mxs, most drivers here are still not dt capable, so it may be ok to not add their pinctrl state at this time.
There no mxs driver on mainline that has been DT aware of. What I'm going to do is to ask Arnd abandon the mxs/dt branch I sent him before and send him an updated one with the whole mxs DT support based on mxs common clk and pinctrl series.
But for the patch "serial: amba-pl011: adopt pinctrl support" since it is dt capable, so with this patch applied, the mx28 dt boot will fail. Maybe we should at least add pinctrl states for amba-pl011 first.
The updated mxs/dt will have pinctrl defined in dts for each device that is converted to DT.

BTW, will this one break other platforms using this driver?
If the platforms do not turn on CONFIG_PINCTRL, they are fine. If they turn on the support, they should provide pinctrl state either dummy or real one.
