I tried to create a refactoring patch for this but couldn't come
up with anything apropriate along the lines above. For example
this function:

Don't you just want something very roughly like:

int pinctrl_pm_select_xxx_state(struct device *dev,
                unsigned long offset, char *name)
{
        struct dev_pin_info *pins = dev->pins;
        struct pinctrl_state **s = (void *)(((char *)pins) + offset)

(...)

    return pinctrl_pm_select_xxx_state(dev,
                offsetof(struct dev_pin_info, default_state),
                "default");
}

Argh that seems a bit too esoteric to save these few
lines, maybe it's me being too stupid to parse this
but it makes the code less maintainable for the pinctrl
maintainer atleast so will not happen right now.

But it is clever still. :-)
