Binding documents should generally not refer to kernel docs and need
to stand on their own.

I don't think this needs to be linux specific. I'd just call it
'led-pattern'. I don't think this should be tied to the trigger types.
Isn't possible you would want to tie a pattern to different triggers.
IOW, when event X happens, run the pattern. And you could have
one-shot versus continuous.
