An other way is to get a device which is a trigger consumer without

Ok I will remove it from stm32-timer documentation

Here all is about how is clocked device counter, it could be by:
- the internal SoC clock rising edges
- the rising edges of some external pins (encoder, reset, gated, trigger)
- the rising edges of an internal signal which is represented by a trigger.

Without parent trigger I can already push the all except the last one.
Maybe doing like this is a better solution ?
