Just reference the standard bindings?

NACK this is totally wrong.

When using GPIO descriptors, consumers specify open drain/collector, not
producers. The same applies to this: the consumers should specify it not
the producer.

You need to either add a pin control interface/driver or extend the GPIO
bindings for consumers to do this, I thin pin control is the right thing here.
It's gonna be complicated but much better.
