As a side node, I wonder if it's worth stripping out those `|

I like the I8254_BINARY, it documents the mode that the counter
is used in. But, if you want to strip them out...
Fair enough.
BTW, I noticed that the i8254_set_mode() helpers have a slight "bug".
if (mode > (I8254_MODE5 | I8254_BINARY))
return -1;
This test will not allow the mode (I8254_MODE5 | I8254_BCD). Nothing
uses it right now, and it's a bit silly to use BCD counting anyway. But...
It does get exposed to user-space by a few drivers that expose the 8254
as a counter subdevice. The "adv_pci_dio" and "das08" drivers expose it
when handling the INSN_CONFIG_SET_COUNTER_MODE instruction (also,
"me4000" driver handling it as a GPCT_SET_OPERATION instruction whatever
that is - it should probably be deprecated in favour of
INSN_CONFIG_SET_COUNTER_MODE). Also, the "amplc_dio200_common" module
has the same bug in its handling of INSN_CONFIG_SET_COUNTER_MODE but
uses its own function to set the mode instead of calling i8254_set_mode().
I'll post some patches to fix it later. Probably not worth backporting
them to "stable".
