No, it's pure Linux kernel decision.
gpio_set_bias() is who made that. That's why it needs to be chosen on global
level.

We may even document somewhere that arguments let's say up to 10 do not make
any sense in real life, as even for 1.2 v it will give 120 mA current on a single
pin. Yet, theoretically that's possible for discrete industrial GPIOs, so we
can choose "very big number" if such case appears in the future. I don't want
to change 1 to something else right now as it may break things.
