I think that it would be simpler if we could initially see
a complete sample dts implementation containing all required DT
nodes. The example could contain timer trigger as well as usb-port
trigger specific bindings.


Please take a look at attached patch. I used it on Tenda AC9 with:

I'm not sure about this extra level of indirection. I don't see the need.

usb_trigger: usb-trigger {
        trigger-type = "usbport";

Why do we need to know the type? The trigger device knows what type it
is. All we should need to know here is what device(s) controls an LED.
The rest the kernel can figure out.

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.

Hi Rob, what do you think about this?

Jacek is correct, we could have e.g.
timer-trigger-1 {
	trigger-type = "timer";
	delay-on = <200>;
	delay-off = <500>;
};
timer-trigger-2 {
	trigger-type = "timer";
	delay-on = <500>;
	delay-off = <1000>;
};

or something like:
usbport-2-0-trigger {
	trigger-type = "usbport";
	ports = <&ohci_port1>, <&ehci_port1>;
};
usbport-3-0-trigger {
	trigger-type = "usbport";
	ports = <&xhci_port1>;
};

Does it make more sense?
