Or adjust port after the call to rzg2l_validate_gpio_pin(), to avoid adding
the offset first, and subtracting it again for calling the latter?

That makes sense.  Currently "port" has two meanings: it can mean
either the GPIO port index, or the global register index covering both
single function pin groups and GPIO port indices.
RZG2L_SINGLE_PIN_GET_PORT() returns the latter.
RZG2L_PIN_ID_TO_PORT() returns the former, thus needing an extra offset
to convert to the global register index.

Changing RZG2L_PIN_ID_TO_PORT() would imply changing all macros
accessing GPIO registers, and is thus quite intrusive.
