version 2: - Do not automatically set parent_trigger attribute on all triggers. Let driver decide to use it. - Improve documentation of parent_trigger - Improve slave modes documentation
Thoses patches add parent_trigger attribute to IIO triggers. Parent trigger edges or levels could be used to control current trigger for example to start, stop or reset it.
Similary to what already exist to validate a device, a new (optional) validate_trigger function is added in iio_trigger structure and should be filled by drivers.
For STM32 triggers parent trigger edges or levels could used in various ways. To be able to select them "slave_mode" attribute is added to STM32 triggers. For example the combinaison of parent_trigger and slave_mode allows to start a trigger only when parent trigger level is high or to reset it on parent trigger rising edge.
