I don't understand these changes. Where do 'struct counter_comp'
and 'struct counter_ops' get confused? I can only find matching
ops/assignments/calls, so I must be missing something. This looks like
a loss of CFI granularity instead of having wrappers added if there is
an enum/u32 conversion needed somewhere.
