I agree, but how would I define a pin with pull-up enabled and
tri-state disabled - assume the pin is currently in a random state that
can have those things set/not set arbitrarily.

I don't see how that can be handled without using arguments the way I
proposed.

I can't put bias-disable in DT since it would potentially disable both
and the pull-up enable would have only a transient effect.
I can't do the sequencing in the driver either. If I see pull-up enable,
I can't imply an effect on tri-state since I can't know whether there
was/will be a tri-state property that sets it as well.
