This is needed for the case when iio buffer is not used and used only 
iio event.

The difference to INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED is that for triggered buffer 
the trigger poll function is attached (using 
iio_trigger_attach_poll_func) only in
industrialio-buffer.c using number of steps/conditions starting by 
issuing 1 to buffer/enable sysfs path.

For chips that do not use iio buffer but use only iio events the 
iio_trigger_attach_poll_func never called.

In case of using INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED the poll func is 
attached/detached via industrialio-buffer.c
In case of using INDIO_EVENT_TRIGGERED the poll func is 
attached/detached via industrialio-trigger.c during set/change the 
current trigger.

Regards,
Vladimir
