To elaborate:

First patch splits existing functions to the macros that use _Generic(), and
old ones become renamed only on the implementation side (to _old or whatever).
Then you add a new ones and apply them to these macros as a second (default?)
choice. Then you convert users one-by-one or whatever preference is, and at
the end you kill macros with old functions and rename "_new" again in a single
place (pinctrl core).
