I don't need both states (at least right now) :), but
- if any OMAP2+ driver will have two states defined: "idle" and "sleep"
- and if it will try to manage them from drivers callbacks only using
   pure calls to pinctrl_pm_select_xx() helpers

the "idle" state will be selected during suspend and *not* "sleep".

In case, if only "default" state is defined for device - nothing will
  be done by OMAP device framework for it (I mean any call to
pinctrl_pm_select_xx() will do nothing - it just checks that there is
no state and returns 0).
