That's right, these numbers appear to correspond to MTK_PUPD_SET_R1R0_*
values defined in include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/mt65xx.h, and work similar
to mediatek,pull-down-adv as defined in mediatek,mt8183-pinctrl.yaml.

Now I think the easiest thing to do in order to sort this out would be
be to stop supporting bias-pull-[up/down] properties and replace them
with mediatek,pull-[up/down]-adv, but I guess that would break old DT.
Changing the supported values to represent ohms and modifying drivers
to accommodate for that would be quite tedious since every pin group
on every SoC has different supported pull resistances, and it would
still break compatibility with old DT anyway.

Does anyone have a better idea on this? Or perhaps we could leave fixing
this for another time since issues with these bindings seem to never end
and this patch series just keeps growing.
