I wondered the same, but there is a reason to do this if we think we
will eventually have support for other triggers (which looks possible
for
this device as we can bypass the fifo). Then we want to do it in order
to avoid a breaking ABI change. There is a way around that by setting
a default trigger so that it'll still use this one unless it is
explicitly
set but that is rather ugly!
