I guess I'd need to see patches as an example to see how this looks,
but I'm at least slightly skeptical. In this case the GPIO is
indirectly specified via "interrupts". Would you add these flags to
the interrupts specifier, too? There's another potential pull as well
(PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_BUS_HOLD) as well as other pin configuration
(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE, for instance). Do we try to fit all of
these into the GPIO / interrupt specifier?

Certainly I will admit that this is a complicated topic, but it seems
weird to say that we use pinctrl to specify pin configuration / pulls
for all pins except ones that are configured as GPIOs or GPIO
interrupts.
