OK atleast I need an indication from one of the i.MX maintainers how they
want to proceed.

Hysteresis is an input property and does not make sense on something
that need drive
strength and slew rate configuration which are output properties.
(I guess you mean 80mA drive strength.)

Actually such oxymoronic settings is a good reason to migrate to
generic bindings
because when you describe stuff with generic strings you see better
what is going
on, and we can add sanity checks to cases like this in the generic code where it
would indeed be valid to ask why this combination of settings is being made.

Yes? That is common. It looks like that in DT:

{
   input-schmitt-enable;
   bias-pull-up = <47000>;
   slew-rate = <50000000>;
   drive-strength = <80000>;
};
