It is. If the device is not being driven by a GPIO or an external
device, the user should connect the /SYNC_OUT to /SYNC_IN. We could
assume that this is the case if the GPIO is not present in the
devicetree, maybe put that into the description. The sync-out-sync-in
property as a boolean can be quite redundant, since we also need to
remove the GPIO.

If opt for a single node instace, thats ok; otherwise, David's
trigger-sources suggestion seems to be the best approach.
