I don't think TRIG_SEL should be in the binding, at least at present.
While TRIG_SEL certainly is something used to configure the transfer, I
believe the semantics of the current DMA binding only cover DMA
transfers that are initiated when SW desires, rather than being a
combination of after SW programs the transfer plus some other HW event.
So, we always use a default/hard-coded TRIG_SEL value. As such, there's
no need for a TRIG_SEL value in DT. There's certainly no known use-case
that requires a non-default TRIG_SEL value at present. We could add an
extra #dma-cells value later if we find a use for it, and the semantics
of that use-case make sense to add it to the DMA specifier, rather than
some other separate higher-level property/driver/...
