Oops, I meant P5_15
Looking at the parts, here are the differences:
RZ/A1H RZ/A1L
------------------
P2_0:15 P2_0:9
P4_0:15 P4_0:7
P5_0:10 P5_0:15
P7_0:15 P7_0:11
P9_0:7 P9_0:5
P10_0:15 none
P11_0:15 none

True, but I am trying to figure out how to solve this locally and not make
it an upstream problem.

Yes/No.
Internally, the IP blocks are the same, and located at the same register
addresses, but come out to different port pins due to the RZ/A1L having smaller
packages.
Also, the L has less channels than the H.
For example:
QSPI: H=2, L=1
LCD: H=2, L=1
SCIF: H=8, L=5
CAN: H=5, L=2
Of course there is some IP that only comes in the H.
This is why I didn't want to associate "names" with the pins in a pfc driver.
I just wanted the board DT to assign a pin to a 'function number'.

OK, so just put the pin differences in the two files. That's a good idea. But,
then that's 2 more files to add upstream.
As the RZ/A series continues, they might keep doing this kind of thing, so I
don't want to get into the habit of adding more and more DT files.
# I wish there was some type of if-else syntax in Device Tree so in the
board file I could just say:
/ {
model = "RSKRZA1";
compatible = "renesas,rskrza1", "renesas,r7s72100";
variant = "rza1l";

Honestly, I'm fine with RZ/A1H being the flagship upstream SoC since it is a
superset of all the peripherals in RZ/A1M,/A1L,/A1LU,/A1LC. Meaning, this small
difference can be handled in a simple board file addition.
I was thinking I was going to post some DT examples on eLinux.org anyway, so one of
them would just be this RZ/A1L fix.
