[PATCH 2/3] iio: Introduce the generic counter interface

[William Breathitt Gray]

This patch introduces the IIO generic counter interface for supporting
counter devices. The generic counter interface serves as a catch-all to
enable rudimentary support for devices that qualify as counters. More
specific and apt counter interfaces may be developed on top of the
generic counter interface, and those interfaces should be used by
drivers when possible rather than the generic counter interface.

In the context of the IIO generic counter interface, a counter is
defined as a device that reports one or more "counter values" based on
the state changes of one or more "counter signals" as evaluated by a
defined "counter function."

The IIO generic counter interface piggybacks off of the IIO core. This
is primarily used to leverage the existing sysfs setup: the IIO_COUNT
channel attributes represent the "counter value," while the IIO_SIGNAL
channel attributes represent the "counter signal;" auxilary IIO_COUNT
attributes represent the "counter signal" connections and their
respective state change configurations which trigger an associated
"counter function" evaluation.

The iio_counter_ops structure serves as a container for driver callbacks
to communicate with the device; function callbacks are provided to read
and write various "counter signals" and "counter values," and set and
get the "trigger mode" and "function mode" for various "counter signals"
and "counter values" respectively.

To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
"counter signals" via iio_counter_signal structures. These "counter
signals" should be stored as an array and set to the init_signals member
of an allocated iio_counter structure before the counter is registered.

"Counter values" may be allocated via iio_counter_value structures, and
respective "counter signal" associations made via iio_counter_trigger
structures. Initial associated iio_counter_trigger structures may be
stored as an array and set to the the init_triggers member of the
respective iio_counter_value structure. These iio_counter_value
structures may be set to the init_values member of an allocated
iio_counter structure before the counter is registered if so desired.

A counter device is registered to the system by passing the respective
initialized iio_counter structure to the iio_counter_register function;
similarly, the iio_counter_unregister function unregisters the
respective counter.
