So the enum is a bitfield value? That's not obvious either, a comment
for the enum might be good to help describe that.

Or "trigger_modes"? "mode" feels odd, these are values, so maybe just
"triggers"?
Naming is hard :(

Ah, then say they are bits, enums are usually not used for that, or if
they are, they are documented better :)

"greater than 0" can be any number, that's not a good api. Use the
sysfs api that can handle a boolean, it will deal with "y/N" and 0/1 and
all sorts of other options that way for you automatically.

That's fine, but you need to fix up the userspace api a bit here.
