This patch is very useful. Also I think that the userspace ABI is good. We need
to work on the in-kernel API because I think we can do better.

We should create a separate function that "attaches" a trigger with
a device.

So, the sequence at probe will be:

indio = iio_device_alloc();
trig = iio_trigger_alloc();

iio_trigger_attach(indio, trig);

iio_trigger_register();
iio_device_register();

The sequence at remove will be in reverse order, where we
would introduce iio_trigger_detach().

We might want document the ABI here:

Better name for this would be trigger_list (see buffer_list or chan_attr_list
in the same structure).

Also, please update the doc string above.

The same observation about the doc string.
