Hi Geert,

12 x 16 = 192, not 384.

Opps, my math was off!

Do you need all possible combinations of input, output, and bi-dir?
I assumed they're mutually exclusive. If not, you need 3 bits/pin/function

You're right, they are mutually exclusive, so 2 bits are fine.

Also, the other pinout variations chips (RZ/A1L,A1LU,A1LC) only have 10 ports:

 12 ports x 16 pins x 2bits-per-bit => 384 bytes
 10 ports x 16 pins x 2bits-per-bit => 320 bytes

 384 + 320 = 704 bytes (of const data)

With packages, do you mean e.g. RZ/A1H vs. RZ/A1L?

Yes.

These indeed differ,
but
should use different compatible values.

OK. Since r7s72100.dtsi has
    compatible = "renesas,r7s72100-ports";

We'll just override that in say my-rza1l-board.dts

&pinctrl {
	compatible = "renesas,r7s72102-ports";
};
	
  and then look for that in the driver.
	

Or do you mean QFP/BGA256 vs. BGA324? Isn't the former a subset of the
latter?

The "package" doesn't matter, it's the pin assignments on the die:
  RZ/A1H = RZ/A1M = pin assignments #1
  RZ/A1L = RZ/A1LU = RZ/A1LC = pin assignments #2

Then each of those parts above have multiple 'package options', but of
course doesn't change the actual pin/function assignments (that's part
of the silicon die)
