Thoses patches add parent_trigger attribute to IIO triggers. The goal is to allow triggers to use triggers like is this done for iio devices. With this patch it will be possible to chain triggers, for example stm32 triggers could be used as clock of an other triggers: echo "tim1_trgo" > trigger0/parent_trigger.
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.
