I stumbled above this issue, too. For the record, this patch fixes the
build issue:

diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.c b/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.c
index b5b47f4dd774..a6a9a0cca6bf 100644
--- a/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.c
+++ b/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-thunderbay.c
@@ -812,7 +812,7 @@ static int thunderbay_add_functions(struct thunderbay_pinctrl *tpc, struct funct
 				}
 			}
 
-			grp = func->group_names;
+			grp = (void *)func->group_names;
 			while (*grp)
 				grp++;
 
(however it's probably not safe for runtime).

Best regards
Uwe
