In that case I think this should be an argument to bias-pull-up like:

bias-pull-up = <360000>;

Nominally the pull up is in ohms:

bias-pull-up:
oneOf:
- type: boolean
- $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
description: pull up the pin. Takes as optional argument on hardware
supporting it the pull strength in Ohm.

Then the driver can choose to shunt in this extra I2C resistance
from the resistance passed as argument. So no special property
is needed, provided you can get an idea about the resistance
provided here.
