Generic code doesn't modify those strings and .get_function_groups
callback has that extra "const" as well. This allows more flexibility in
GENERIC_PINMUX_FUNCTIONS users.

I have not seen this reported yet, even though it has been broken for a
couple of weeks now. I see the following error in -next:
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- allmodconfig drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.o
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.c: In function ‘thunderbay_add_functions’:

Looks like something like the third patch of the series is needed for
the Thunderbay driver, which it appears was in development at the same
time as this series.
Correct, this driver didn't exist in Linus's tree when I developed my changes.
I stumbled above this issue, too. For the record, this patch fixes the
build issue:
[PATCH 5.17 1/2] pinctrl: thunderbay: comment process of building functions a bit
[PATCH 5.17 2/2] pinctrl: thunderbay: rework loops looking for groups names
