The main difference I have introduce between INDIO_EVENT_TRIGGERED and
INDIO_HARDWARE_TRIGGERED is that this last one doesn't have poll function
(i.e. userland can't wait on the event).
For me userland doesn't need to be informed of each clock rising edge.
More generally this new mode can be used when the event can't/doesn't need be
notified to userland which is the case in my hardware where it is a
signal on internal
wire.
