There can be only one anyway.
Most drivers used a fixed name:

drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rza1.c: rza1_pctl->desc.name = DRIVER_NAME;
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rza2.c: priv->desc.name = DRIVER_NAME;
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rzg2l.c: pctrl->desc.name = DRV_NAME;
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rzn1.c: rzn1_pinctrl_desc.name =
dev_name(&pdev->dev);
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rzt2h.c: desc->name = DRV_NAME;
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl-rzv2m.c: pctrl->desc.name = DRV_NAME;
drivers/pinctrl/renesas/pinctrl.c: pmx->pctl_desc.name = DRV_NAME;

It might change the path in debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/) though.
