Indeed.

Would something along the following lines fly for you?

#define VIN_DATA_PIN_GROUP(n, s, ...)					\
	{								\
		.name = #n#s#__VA_ARGS__,				\
		.pins = n##__VA_ARGS__##_pins.data##s,			\
		.mux = n##__VA_ARGS__##_mux.data##s,			\
		.nr_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(n##__VA_ARGS__##_pins.data##s),	\
	}

It can be used as:
VIN_DATA_PIN_GROUP(vin4_data, 8, _a),
VIN_DATA_PIN_GROUP(vin5_data, 8),

With your ack on this, I'll send v2.

Thanks

On v4.20-rc1 the grep returns none for me :/
git grep v4.20-rc1 "vin._data_[a-z][0-9]" drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/
