We could probably make it work like the leds version of this
binding where the trigger-sources property can have phandles
to anything, not just a dedicated class of device. It just
gets messy to implement because every subsystem needs to have
core code modified to be able to handle using a device or
one channel/gpio/etc. of a device as a trigger instead of
whatever it normally is.
