So that would replace 3 (4 after adding RZ/V2H support) x 2 pointers in
rzg2l_pinctrl_data structures by 3 (4) pointers in rzg2l_pinctrl_data
structures + 1 (2) x 2 pointers in rzg2l_pinctrl_fns structures, and
code size would increase due to extra pointer dereferences before
each call.
Am I missing something?

Merging rzg2l_pwpr_pfc_{,un}lock() into a single function (taking a
"bool lock" flag) might be a better solution to reduce rzg2l_pinctrl_data size.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
