Yet:

* Some controllers don't have a "drive strength" property
* Others have a single "drive strength" property
* Others configure drive strength separately for driving a signal high
or low.

Hence, representing this in a generic fashion doesn't seem possible to
me, except through (key, value) pairs where the individual drivers or
bindings define what the keys are.
