On R-Car H2 and RZ/G1H they're indeed named VIx_G[7:0].

However, looking at other R-Car Gen2 and Gen3 variants, there are
many possibilities, from all-RGB:
  1. R[7:0], G[7:0], B[7:0],
over:
  2. R[7:0], G[7:0], DATA[7:0]_B[7:0],
  3. D[23:16]_R[7:0], D[15:8]_G[7:0]_Y[7:0], D[7:0]_B[7:0]_C[7:0],
to all-DATA:
  4. DATA[11:0],
  5. DATA[23:0].

Following 1, 24-bit should be called "rgb24", and 18-bit "rgb18"
(I believe this is the only format using discontiguous pins?).
The in-betweens make sense, as YCbCr[7:0] data goes over the 8-bit DATA
or 16-bit D pins, but that sense is lost when considering other formats
that accept 10/12/16/20-bit input.
I guess that's why R-Car Gen3 settled at option 5, which is actually
what we've been doing in the pin control drivers from the beginning.

Nevertheless, I agree "vinX_g8" seems like the best name for this group,
as it's quite obvious from the name what it means, and isn't easily
confused with an alternate set of pins.
Note that the BSP (for R-Car Gen3, no idea about Gen2) uses
"vinX_data8_sft8" (which I never really liked), which Niklas is now
trying to upstream in "[PATCH 0/4] pinctrl: sh-pfc: Add VIN stf8 pins"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-renesas-soc/20200914233744.468175-1-niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.se).
Expect more bikeshedding soon ;-)
