I think putting the change to the documentation into a separate patch is
a good idea as it explains the usage in general and not only adapts it
to the changes to the source. Other than that: Thanks for this document.

I would prefer to call this TX and RX to match the UART lines. This
would then allow to expand the trigger to also blink on handshaking
signals or RI. Then maybe a file per signal is sensible?

It would be natural to have these two = 1 if "inout" is written.

With the above suggestion, this can be simplified to:
if ((icount.rx != trigger_data->rx && trigger_data->indirection) ||
(icount.tx != trigger_data->tx && trigger_data->outdirection)) {
led_set_brightness_sync(trigger_data->led_cdev, LED_ON);
...
