"mode" isn't the good word here because quadratic encoder enable a
sub-block of this hardware.
Timer internal counter input could be internal or external clocks,
some IIO triggers
or the output of the quadratic encoder sub-block.
It is a child like pwm or IIO trigger.

Counter framework didn't exist when I pushed timer node but thanks to
William's effort
it will allow us to use this kindf of hardware
