Hello, similar to patch https://lore.kernel.org/r/4bde7cbd9e43a5909208102094444219d3154466.1640072891.git.vilhelm.gray@xxxxxxxxx the usage of struct counter_device::priv can be replaced by container_of which improves type safety and code size. This series depends on above patch, converts the remaining drivers and finally drops struct counter_device::priv. This series was compile tested using ARCH=arm allmodconfig with the following change: config 104_QUAD_8 tristate "ACCES 104-QUAD-8 driver" - depends on PC104 && X86 + depends on PC104 && X86 || COMPILE_TEST select ISA_BUS_API in drivers/counter/Kconfig.
