The offload stuff is something very particular to a spi controller feature. Not
sure if having this as a generic thing makes sense at this point.

IMO, the IIO way of looking at the offload engine is as an HW triggered core for
capturing data. Hence, I would support the whole thing as an HW triggered
buffer. And, if we are really going the path of having the offload core as a
platform device, we could have different compatibles for each pair of trigger +
data_capture (or explicit dt properties).

Just my 2 cents...
