Fine, I've sent yesterday:
"[PATCH v4 0/4] sh-pfc: Variadic VIN_DATA_PIN_GROUP macro + updates"
which includes: "pinctrl: sh-pfc: Fix VIN versioned groups name" that
changes all users of VIN_DATA_PIN_GROUP in one go.

I'll split that and re-send.

Before resending, if there are comments on:
"pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a77965: Add VIN[4|5] groups/functions" and
"pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a77990: Add VIN[4|5] groups/functions"

which are included in that very same series, I'll like to address
them before sending v5 out.

Thanks
