So, I don't mean getting into the trigger_handler by other paths. I will
always end up in the trigger_handler and then, depending on the interrupt
that was triggered (DRDY, FIFO, etc...) I choose different actions.

So I am a bit confused. Indeed, BMP380 has only irq line. So I understand
why I should call it INT. The actual IRQ inside the chip that will be 
triggered needs to be configured by software. I do it through the
bmp{3/5}80_int_config() function. How am I supposed to know
which IRQ to enable? Options are:

	a) DRDY only
	b) FIFO only
	c) both

How can I inform the driver about which to enable? Shouldn't this go
through the device-tree?

My idea is that there is one trigger_handler which inside you check
which interrupt triggered and you choose which path to choose. If that's
wrong, do you know any specific driver that implements it in the correct
way? Because in my mind, the iio_dev->trig is one and just inside the
handler, different functions are called.

Thanks for the feedback :)
