Add "parent_trigger" sysfs attribute to iio trigger to be able
to set a parent to the current trigger.
Parent trigger edges or levels could be used to control current
trigger status for example to start, stop or reset it.

Introduce validate_trigger function in iio_trigger_ops which does
the same than validate_device but with a trigger as second parameter.
Driver must implement this function and add dev_attr_parent_trigger
in their trigger attribute group to be able to use parent trigger
feature.

version 3:
- try to provide better description of parent_trigger usages

version 2:
- add comment about parent trigger usage
- parent trigger attribute must be set the driver no more by IIO core

It might be worth a cover letter for this series with even more detail,
or perhaps even a proposed page for the sphinx docs.

It's interesting stuff, but not necessarily obvious to a newcomer
to this discussion.

We really need to expand those sphinx docs anyway.
I was thinking of a whole series of pages on 'weird / sophiscated'
usage of IIO, touching on stuff like Peter Rosin's analog front
ends and Matt Ranostay's more novel health and chemical sensors.
i.e. the stuff that 'stretches' us ;)

The only bit I'd change in here is dropping the word custom.

I'm an optimist: We may yet figure out a nice generic interface!
