The off mode bits can be enabled continuously, the mux hardware
automatically sets them. So sounds like you don't need any
separate "idle" "sleep" and "off" states, the following should
do:

"default" (or "static")	static pins that don't need to be touched
			after consumer driver probe

"active"		dynamic pins that are not a subset of
			"default" needed for runtime; these pins
			are the same as "idle" below, but with
			different muxing or pinconf device
			runtime

"idle"			dynamic pins that are not a subset of
			"default" needed for various idle modes;
			these pins are the same as "active" above,
			but with different muxing or pinconf for
			various idle states

Can you please confirm that these named modes are enough for
your needs?

If your hardware does not have specific off mode bits, then
I can understand that you may need one mor state "off".
