Changes in v3: - Moved addition of counter subdirectory with the introduction of the 104-QUAD-8 driver; this should prevent an unpopulated Makefile from existing in an empty counter subdirectory - Remove flg1 ext_info. In the 104-QUAD-8, the FLG1 pin is used to trigger interrupts; I plan to add interrupt support in a later patch, so for now interrupts are disabled by this driver (FLG1 pin is ignored). This patchset adds new IIO channel type and info constants to facilitate support for counter devices. In addition, a new "counter" subdirectory is created to house drivers for these counter devices. Quadrature encoders, such as rotary encoders and linear encoders, are devices which are capable of encoding the relative position and direction of motion of a shaft. This patchset adds several IIO constants for supporting quadrature encoder counter devices. IIO_COUNT: Current count (main data provided by the counter device) IIO_INDEX: Set high when index input is at active level IIO_CHAN_INFO_PRESET: Counter preset value Specifically, this patchset introduces a driver to support the ACCES 104-QUAD-8 device, a general purpose quadrature encoder counter/interface board capable of monitoring the outputs of eight encoders.
