The first argument to the DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() macro is a
token serving as the symbol name in the definition of a new
struct counter_array structure. However, this macro actually expands to
two statements:

    #define DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(_name, _enums, _length) \
            DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE(_name##_available, _enums); \
            struct counter_array _name = { \
                    .type = COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY, \
                    .avail = &(_name##_available), \
                    .length = (_length), \
            }

Because of this, the "static" on line 380 only applies to the first
statement. It might be best to take the DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE() line
out and leave DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() as a simple structure
definition to avoid issues like this.

I'll submit a fix tomorrow to do such.

Thanks,
