[PATCH v17 0/9] Introduce the Counter character device interface

[William Breathitt Gray <vilhelm.gray@gmail.com>]

Changes in v17:
 - A couple minor improvements to documentation from review suggestions
 - chrdev_lock redeclared as atomic_t; BITMAP was not necessary because
   chrdev_lock is a single flag
 - test_and_set_bit_lock(), clear_bit_unlock(), and clear_bit(),
   replaced respectively with atomic_add_unless(), atomic_dec(), and
   atomic_set()
 - counter_comp_read_is_equal() and counter_comp_read_is_set() macros
   implemented in order to properly test counter_comp structures' read
   callback states
 - counter_sysfs_add() call performed before counter_chrdev_add() call
   in counter_register() in order to match unwinding sequence
 - for-loop utilized in counter-example.c in order to simplify code
 - counter-example.c returns 1 on error instead of -errno; errno may be
   modified after a subsequent library call so we can't depend on it

For convenience, this patchset is also available on my personal git
repo: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v17

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.
