I'm not sure why that ti-eqep counter driver seems to be in your
"iio/staging" pile rather than "char/misc", but whatever..

Jonathan said why that was needed, I think it was due to fixes in the
counter core code, but he can verify this better than I can...

Hi Linus / Greg,

Bit of history involved here...

The counter drivers started out as just another sensor type
under IIO, but ended up pushing the boundaries of the ABI a lot -
ultimately making it clear that they really didn't fit in IIO.
William came up with a better abstraction / framework that
became drivers/counter/, but currently the patch flow for
drivers/counter/ is sufficiently low that I handle their
patches along side IIO rather than via a separate tree.

There is also a cross dependency because of legacy IIO ABI
though we are aiming to drop that either this cycle or next.

Hope that clears it up.  If either of you would prefer
it a different way in future let me know.

This particular fix was local to the driver - it was pretending
it supported something that hardware couldn't actually do.

Thanks,

Jonathan
