Well, since I'm the one with the "renesas.com" email address, I'll try to
see if I can figure out if the R-Car PFC can be changed to something else for
R-Car Gen4. Same goes for RZ/G. Sometimes the chip designers just keep doing
the same thing over and over again because they don't get any feedback from
the SW guys.

At some point....we do need to leave the "sh-" name behind as I don't really
see much of a future for SH4 devices. Using something like pinctrl-renesas
is probably a better name. Although, anyone who's watched the semiconductor
business over the years knows that names never stay the same. (sigh)
