This one certainly. A quick survey (on amd64 only) suggests the whole
bunch would be 68k so very OK:

    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/cirrus/pinctrl-cs42l43.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-alderlake.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-elkhartlake.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-emmitsburg.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-intel-platform.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-jasperlake.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-lakefield.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-meteorlake.ko.xz
    /kernel/drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-meteorpoint.ko.xz

I'm not sure how much more and in which case how pertinent others would
be on say arm* architectures, so it'd be best to get some feedback from
the kernel team: new udeb, fold that into existing udeb(s), etc.?

This doesn't have to be a decision made right this minute, I can easily
pick and choose one particular module on an interim basis, from within
the debian-installer package (and its build system).
