The thing is that in the proposed approach the trigger is not necessary
a device. The trigger node is here only a container with initialization
data.

We could have e,g, two such nodes with different set of ports
(say usb1-trigger and usb2-trigger). Then if we had two LED nodes usb1
and usb2, the former could have its triggers property initialized
to &usb1-trigger and the latter to &usb2-trigger. Thanks to that both
LEDs after executing "echo usbport > triggers" would listen to events
from different set of usb ports.

Also, e.g. for the timer trigger we could define two separate DT nodes
with different delay intervals.
