My opinion is that we don't want to make SCMI Pinctrl protocol to be
dependent from Pinctrl subsystem. This will potentially require SCMI
protocol change in case of significant Pinctrl subsystem refactoring.
Another reason is that pincfunction has the following groups
definition:
const char * const *groups;

Which is meant to be constantly allocated.
So I when I try to gather list of groups in
pinctrl_scmi_get_function_groups I will receive compilation error.

Pinctrl subsystem structs are designed to be statically allocated and
can't be used for lazy allocations.

Thanks, I will go through the code and fix this.

Checked linux kernel code with the following command:
pcregrep -lcrM "for \(.*\)[^{]$\n.*if" .

As I can see - this approach is taking place in kernel code. Although
not as widely as for with outer {}. I will add outer {}.
