But bias-disable also disables high-impedance. That doesn't work for me,
I think.

It's not. As the bindings say, the argument is driver specific. In the
Zynq case you can simply choose fast or slow - whatever that means -
which maps to 0 or 1 in the DT. This though raises the question where
that documentation lives. Since this is a driver specific
interpretation, it should not be in the binding docs, IMHO. So, some
other place might need to be found to document the implementation
specifics.

Same problem as I have above. To allow all permutations of pull-up and
tri-state I can't just have a single disable-bias property.

That would also disable the pull-up.
