Is that required for the pin controller itself (compile-time dependence)
or is it required to boot the system (run-time dependence)?

We can merge support for pin control ahead, that's fine.

Geert Uytterhoeven and Laurent Pinchart maintains the Renesas pin
controllers, and this one is for some reason a totally new one in
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-r9a06g032.c

Is it totally different from the other "great old ones" in the SuperH-PFC
series or is there some other reason why it was done like this?

Please include Geert and Laurent on subsequent postings,
their review is pretty much required to move forward with
this.
