Hmm, last thing before I fell asleep: We already have support for power 
down configuration in pinctrl-samsung. See samsung,pin-conpdn and 
samsung,pin-pudpdn.

Also I already have patches for suspend/resume support of pinctrl-samsung 
and pinctrl-exynos, as well as configuration of wake-up sources. I'm going 
to post them soon.
