Changes in v11: - Migrated Intel QEP to new interface - Context adjustments made for documentation I pulled out a lot of bits and pieces to their own patches; hopefully that makes reviewing this patchset much simpler than before. This patchset is also available on my personal public git repo for anyone who wants a quick way to clone: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v11 The patches preceding "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" are primarily cleanup and fixes that can be picked up and applied now to the IIO tree if so desired. The "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" patch as well may be considered for pickup because it is relatively safe and makes no changes to the userspace interface. To summarize the main points of this patchset: there are no changes to the existing Counter sysfs userspace interface; a Counter character device interface is introduced that allows Counter events and associated data to be read() by userspace; the events_configure() and watch_validate() driver callbacks are introduced to support Counter events; and IRQ support is added to the 104-QUAD-8 driver, serving as an example of how to support the new Counter events functionality. Something that should still be discussed: should the struct counter_event "status" member be 8 bits or 32 bits wide? This member will provide the return status (system error number) of an event operation.
