I moved the creation of the "counter" subdirectory to this first patch,
but the 104-QUAD-8 driver is only added in the subsequent patch;
effectively, the non-populated Makefile in this patch leads to the
error.

I'll submit version 3 of this patchset with the "counter" subdirectory
introduced in the same patch as the 104-QUAD-8 driver. That should
resolve this issue.
