The hi8435 could make use of this, but it currently doesn't get these thresholds
from DT (despite there being a reasonable argument that these should be characteristics
of the board wiring etc) but rather from userspace controls.

Might well be something in gpio drivers?  Linus / Bartosz, any of the input gpio
devices really threshold detectors?  If so is there any precedence for a DT
binding to set the threshold?
