Changes in v4: - Handle COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY type in counter_attr_create() and counter_get_data(); previously was incorrectly treating as invalid - Replace DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY macro with DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_U64 and DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY macros The COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY Counter component type is introduced to enable support for Counter array components. With Counter array components, exposure for buffers on counter devices can be defined via new Counter array component macros. This should simplify code for driver authors who would otherwise need to define individual Counter components for each array element. Six Counter array component macros are introduced:: DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_U64(_name, _length) DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(_name, _enums, _length) COUNTER_COMP_DEVICE_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array) COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array) COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array) COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_POLARITY(_read, _write, _array) Eight Counter array callbacks are introduced as well:: int (*signal_array_u32_read)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_signal *signal, size_t idx, u32 *val); int (*signal_array_u32_write)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_signal *signal, size_t idx, u32 val); int (*device_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter, size_t idx, u64 *val); int (*count_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_count *count, size_t idx, u64 *val); int (*signal_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_signal *signal, size_t idx, u64 *val); int (*device_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter, size_t idx, u64 val); int (*count_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_count *count, size_t idx, u64 val); int (*signal_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter, struct counter_signal *signal, size_t idx, u64 val); Driver authors can handle reads/writes for an array component by receiving an element index via the `idx` parameter and processing the respective value via the `val` parameter. For example, suppose a driver wants to expose a Count's read-only capture buffer of four elements using a callback `foobar_capture_read()`:: DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_U64(foobar_capture_array, 4); COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_ARRAY_U64("capture", foobar_capture_read, NULL, foobar_capture_array) Respective sysfs attributes for each array element would appear for the respective Count: * /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture0 * /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture1 * /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture2 * /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture3 If a user tries to read _capture2_ for example, `idx` will be `2` when passed to the `foobar_capture_read()` callback, and thus the driver knows which array element to handle. In addition, this patchset introduces the Signal polarity component, which represents the active level of a respective Signal. There are two possible states: positive (rising edge) and negative (falling edge). The 104-quad-8 driver is updated to expose its index_polarity functionality via this new polarity component. Counter arrays for polarity elements can be defined in a similar manner as u64 elements:: const enum counter_signal_polarity foobar_polarity_states[] = { COUNTER_SIGNAL_POLARITY_POSITIVE, COUNTER_SIGNAL_POLARITY_NEGATIVE, }; DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(foobar_polarity_array, foobar_polarity_states, 4); COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_POLARITY(foobar_polarity_read, foobar_polarity_write, foobar_polarity_array) The only component types supported for Counter arrays currently are COUNTER_COMP_U64 and COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY.
