Thanks for fixing the formating in the previous attempt.

As Kees Bakker noted [1], I failed to have this check in my v3 patch
series. This fix makes pinctrl-th1520 behave the same as other drivers
that call pinmux_generic_get_function() like pinctrl-single. I have
applied your patch and the driver still works as expected on my LPi4a.

Hopefully Linus can apply this fix on top of my v3 series.
