Changes in v16: - Define magic numbers for stm32-lptimer-cnt clock polarities - Define magic numbers for stm32-timer-cnt encoder modes - Bump KernelVersion to 5.16 in sysfs-bus-counter ABI documentation - Fix typos in driver API generic-counter.rst documentation file For convenience, this patchset is also available on my personal git repo: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v16 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.
