Thanks for this, my comments below.

Does it really make sense to keep an additional wrapper data type that
does not add any value? Can't we simply have

  #define FUNCTION(fname)      [...fname] = PINCTRL_PINFUNCTION(...)

?

Why do you need this casting? Same Q to all the rest of the similar cases.

Keep it separate, and below the generic ones...

...like here (note also a blank line).

But why? Just kill the entire structure.

This definition appears in many files, instead you can make a generic
to this drivers one and use it here

#define QCOM_FUNCTION(_prefix_, _fname_)
  [_prefix_##_fname_] = PINCTRL_PINFUNCTION(...)

#define FUNCTION(fname) QCOM_FUNCTION(msm_mux, fname)

(this just a pseudocode, might not even be compilable)
