I guess it's more of a question for what Bjorn thinks, but I view the
fact that the drive-strength / bias are in the dtsi file to begin with
as more as a bug in commit 8f6e20adaaf3 ("arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845:
enable dma for spi"), which is where these properties were introduced
to sdm845.dtsi.

The historical guidance from Bjorn was that things like
"drive-strength" and "bias" didn't belong in the SoC dtsi file. Later
we came to an agreement that it could be OK to put drive-strength in
the SoC dtsi file but that bias was still problematic because it meant
ugly "/delete-property/" stuff in the board dtsi files [1].
