But in this case we actually have these booleans to specify
exactly what we want to do:

bias-disable - disable any pin bias
bias-high-impedance - high impedance mode ("third-state", "floating")
bias-bus-hold - latch weakly
bias-pull-up - pull up the pin
bias-pull-down - pull down the pin
bias-pull-pin-default - use pin-default pull state

Yours,
