Pure Boolean values should be represented as a valueless property. If
the property is present, the value is true, otherwise false.
However, pinctrl bindings often don't represent Boolean values, but
rather tri-states, with the following values:
* Don't touch this configuration option at all (missing)
* Enable the option (<1>)
* Disable the option (<0>)
The reason for using tri-states being that you might want to write:
xxx1 {
pins = <PINA>, <PINB>, <PINC>;
function = <...>;
// this node doesn't affect pullup
}
xxx2 {
pins = <PINA>, <PINB>;
// this node doesn't affect function
pull-up = <1>; // change, and enable
}
xxx3 {
pins = <PINAC>;
// this node doesn't affect function
pull-up = <0>; // change, and disable
}
