Unfortunately this isn't supported yet for non-flexible-array-members:

mm/damon/sysfs.c:96:14: error: 'counted_by' attribute may not be specified for a non-array field
   96 |         struct damon_sysfs_region **regions_arr __counted_by(nr);
      |                                     ^~~~~

We'll have to wait a bit before we can add this patch. Thank you for
getting it ready, though! This support is next in line. :)

The FAM support is likely ready to land, though[1]. I just tested it
today.
