As far as I know, there is no canonical list of standard triggers.
In addition, what triggers are available also depend on the kernel
configuration, so there really is no "standard".

Since this is also configurable via sysfs, maybe it should be part
of the sysfs ABI document? Either way I believe this will be up to
the LED subsystem maintainers.
