This is a reimplementation of the Generic Counter driver interface.
There are no modifications to the Counter subsystem userspace interface,
so existing userspace applications should continue to run seamlessly.
The purpose of this patch is to internalize the sysfs interface code
among the various counter drivers into a shared module. Counter drivers
pass and take data natively (i.e. u8, u64, etc.) and the shared counter
module handles the translation between the sysfs interface and the
device drivers. This guarantees a standard userspace interface for all
counter drivers, and helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in
order to support the Generic Counter chrdev interface (introduced in a
subsequent patch) without significant changes to the existing counter
drivers.
Note, Counter device registration is the same as before: drivers
populate a struct counter_device with components and callbacks, then
pass the structure to the devm_counter_register function. However,
what's different now is how the Counter subsystem code handles this
registration internally.
Whereas before callbacks would interact directly with sysfs data, this
interaction is now abstracted and instead callbacks interact with native
C data types. The counter_comp structure forms the basis for Counter
extensions.
The counter-sysfs.c file contains the code to parse through the
counter_device structure and register the requested components and
extensions. Attributes are created and populated based on type, with
respective translation functions to handle the mapping between sysfs and
the counter driver callbacks.
The translation performed for each attribute is straightforward: the
attribute type and data is parsed from the counter_attribute structure,
the respective counter driver read/write callback is called, and sysfs
I/O is handled before or after the driver read/write function is called.

This should be testing "regmap" instead of "priv->regmap". The
"priv->regmap" variable is always zero so it's not an error pointer.

This drivers allows to use the capture mode of the Timer Counter Block
hardware block available in Microchip SoCs through the counter subsystem.
Two functions of the counter are supported for the moment: period
capture and quadrature decoder. The latter is only supported by the
SAMA5 series of SoCs.
For the period capture mode a basic setup has been chosen that will
reset the counter each time the period is actually reached. Of course
the device offers much more possibilities.
For quadrature mode, both channel 0 and 1 must be configured even if we
only capture the position (no revolution/rotation).
