So this is very different from the SH-PFC family and should not
be in drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc?

If it is also a GPIO driver I guess it should
select GPIOLIB as well.

This was not possible in the past, but it is possible nowadays.

We now also have .set_multiple() and more interestingly
.set_config() which can be backed by pinctrl if you want
to e.g. support debouncing and/or open drain/open source.

Maybe this is stuff your pin controller can do, but not needed
in the initial submission for sure.

Please name it rza1_set_mux() to correspond with the ops field.
