Changes in v9: - Implemented example userspace counter application under tools/counter - Replaced extension*_name attributes with *_component_id attributes; this should hopefully be a more intuitive way to find the desired IDs - Changed to use regular spinlock because raw_spinlock is not needed - Implemented chrdev_lock mutex to limit chrdev to a single open() at a time - Improved struct counter_component documentation with examples - Reverted "counter_count_function" to "counter_function" naming change for drivers; individual maintainers can change this if they so desire - Utilized "return 0" in switch blocks to return early where possible - Utilized default cases in switch blocks to improve clarity and intent - Refactored counter_register to make use of cdev_add_device(); counter_chrdev_add() has been simplified as a result - Inlined counter_chrdev_realloc_queue() because it is only used by the events_queue_size sysfs attribute - Replaced deprecated ida_simple_* calls with ida_alloc()/ida_free() - Made use of struct device "id" member to construct the cdev node name - Made use of kfifo_size() instead of rolling my own - Implemented changes necessary to migrate interrupt-cnt driver
Note that this revision is based on top of 5 prerequisite patches: * counter: add IRQ or GPIO based counter * dt-bindings: counter: add interrupt-counter binding * counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling miss-alignment with reload register * counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value * counter: stm32-timer-cnt: Report count function when SLAVE_MODE_DISABLED I pulled out a lot of bits and pieces to their own patches; hopefully that makes reviewing this patchset much simpler than before. This patchset is also available on my personal public git repo for anyone who wants a quick way to clone: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v9 The patches preceding "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" are primarily cleanup and fixes that can be picked up and applied now to the IIO tree if so desired. The "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" patch as well may be considered for pickup because it is relatively safe and makes no changes to the userspace interface. To summarize the main points of this patchset: there are no changes to the existing Counter sysfs userspace interface; a Counter character device interface is introduced that allows Counter events and associated data to be read() by userspace; the events_configure() and watch_validate() driver callbacks are introduced to support Counter events; and IRQ support is added to the 104-QUAD-8 driver, serving as an example of how to support the new Counter events functionality. Something that should still be discussed: should the struct counter_event "status" member be 8 bits or 32 bits wide? This member will provide the return status (system error number) of an event operation.
