LSF0204: Pull up resistor value limits for LSF devices

Part Number: LSF0204

Hi,

In the datasheet of LSF0204, the pull-up resistors suggest the desired resistance based on the current sink capacity shown in the picture below:

This means if the driver can sink a large current you can use a low resistance value for faster switching. If we increase the pull-up resistor to more than 20(few) kohms the current through the pass transistor will reduce quite significantly. Now is it possible that the pass transistor enters the triode region and effectively becomes a resistor? In that case, should there also be an upper limit to the pull-up resistor values along with the lower limit that is used to limit the current through the transistor?

Is this tested/discussed anywhere on the internet or in application notes or did I miss anything?
