If "elc trigger" is meaningful to people using hte device (IOW, it
matches datasheet wording) then that's fine I think.

The property doesn't actually need to be required, it could easily have
a default (say software) and only be set in the case of using the elc
trigger - which brings you to Rob's comment that it can just be a
boolean, setting the property if elc and leaving it out of software.

Rob's other comment was

| Who/what decides the mode? If a user is going to want to change this, 
| then it should be a runtime control, not a DT property.

which I think needs an answer ;)
