Changes in v15: - Move the description for the member 'lock' in the 'quad8' structure as a separate patch - Reorganize the "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" patch to not call chrdev code; respective code moved to the "counter: Add character device interface" patch with the other chrdev code - Custom enums removed from the ftm-quaddec.c, stm32-lptimer-cnt.c, and stm32-timer-cnt.c files; respective drivers refactored to use the COUNTER_FUNCTION_* and COUNTER_SYNAPSE_* enum constants instead For convenience, this patchset is also available on my personal git repo: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v15 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.
