I guess the other alternative would be to change how the dt property
works. You could say:

1. If `enable-strobe-pulldown` is set then enable the strobe pulldown.

2. If `enable-strobe-pulldown` is not set then don't touch the pin in
the kernel.

3. If someone later needs to explicitly disable the strobe pulldown
they could add a new property like `disable-strobe-pulldown`.


Obviously there are tradeoffs between that and what you've done and
I'm happy to let others make the call of which they'd prefer.
