Changes in v2:
 - Fixed Counter array component id allocation; was previously
   allocating duplicate ids to subsequent components
 - Introduced the Signal polarity component
 - Added Signal polarity component for 104-quad-8 driver
 - Converted COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_U64 to COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY
 - Added support for Counter arrays of Signal polarity component type
 - Introduced DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY helper macro to define Counter arrays

The COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY Counter component type is introduced to enable
support for Counter array components. With Counter array components,
exposure for buffers on counter devices can be defined via new Counter
array component macros. This should simplify code for driver authors who
would otherwise need to define individual Counter components for each
array element.

Driver authors can handle reads/writes for an array component by
receiving an element index via the `idx` parameter and processing the
respective value via the `val` parameter.

For example, suppose a driver wants to expose a Count's read-only
capture buffer of four elements using a callback
`foobar_capture_read()`::

        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY(foobar_capture_array, COUNTER_COMP_U64,
                             NULL, 4)
        COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_ARRAY_U64("capture", foobar_capture_read,
                                     NULL, foobar_capture_array)

Respective sysfs attributes for each array element would appear for the
respective Count:

* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture0
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture1
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture2
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture3

If a user tries to read _capture2_ for example, `idx` will be `2` when
passed to the `foobar_capture_read()` callback, and thus the driver
knows which array element to handle.

In addition, this patchset introduces the Signal polarity component,
which represents the active level of a respective Signal. There are two
possible states: positive (rising edge) and negative (falling edge). The
104-quad-8 driver is updated to expose its index_polarity functionality
via this new polarity component.

A macro COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_POLARITY() is provided for driver authors to
support Counter arrays of Signal polarity component type;
DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE may be used to define the polarity modes that
are passed to DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY.

  counter: Introduce the Signal polarity component
  counter: 104-quad-8: Add Signal polarity component
  counter: Consolidate Counter extension sysfs attribute creation
  counter: Introduce the COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY component type
