Sometimes it is desirable to define a "safe" configuration for a GPIO in

This might for example be useful to initially configure a debug pin that
is usually unconnected as output to prevent floating until it is used
later.

and easy to understand for DTS authors.

In my opinion.

But I would like to see some opinion from a DT maintainer, we need to
have some rough consensus on this.
