The imx219/imx708 sensors frequently generate a single corrupt frame
(image or embedded data) when the sensor first starts. This can either
be a missing line, or invalid samples within the line. This only occurrs
using the upstream Unicam kernel driver.
Disabling trigger mode elimiates this corruption. Since trigger mode is
a legacy feature copied from the firmware driver and not expected to be
needed, remove it. Tested on the Raspberry Pi cameras and shows no ill
effects.
