Ah. So if I read this right, the trigger only exists to provide somewhere
to hang the frequency control?   Not sure it's worth the complexity for that.


Do we expect a given offload engine to allow a bunch of 'standard' triggers?
If that's the case then I don't mind them being exposed as triggers. We do
that for a few other devices where we need to pick between a bunch of
different internal signals and it works fine.

Split this an register the uninit and delete as separate callbacks to so we
can clearly see what each is doing.
