[PATCH 03/14] dt-bindings: iio: add binding support for iio trigger provider/consumer

[Eugen Hristev]

Add bindings for producer/consumer for iio triggers.

Similar with iio channels, the iio triggers can be connected between drivers:
one driver will be a producer by registering iio triggers, and another driver
will connect as a consumer.
