As I mentioned in the cover letter for the series I've just sent out, I ran into
a bit of an understanding gap around the two counter cases.  This isn't helped
by the fact it is at least partly deprecated ABI given the counter subsystem
has much richer ABI for these types of devices.

@Fabrice, Benjamin and William.
What do we do about that one?

I'd consider the IIO counter ABI as entirely deprecated -- the Counter
subsystem supports all the functionality that's provided by the IIO
counter ABI, as well as additional functionality that is missing. 

Regarding the iio:deviceX/in_count_quadrature_mode_available attribute:
superseded by the Counter subsystem counterX/countY/function attribute.
The IIO counter ABI allows users to select between a quadrature counting
mode or a non-quadrature counting mode; unfortunately, it does not
specify what kind of quadrature or what kind of non-quadrature counting
is actually being performed by the device.

Because the 104-quad-8 and stm32-lptimer-cnt drivers were the only ones
to use this attribute, they are luckily in sync -- both define the same
possible modes available: "quadrature" and "non-quadrature". You could
simply consolidate this attribute to the main sys-bus-iio file in order
to resolve this warning.

Given that it has already been superceded by the Counter subsystem, I'd
also be all right with just removing the IIO Counter ABI entirely from
the codebase, or alternatively setting a future date for removal.

I agree that we should look to remove this ABI.  If we can establish no one
is relying on it today then we can drop quickly.  If not it would be good
to establish when we drop it.

Fabrice, Benjami any thoughts on the stm32-lptimer-cnt?

I'm going to hazard a guess that there aren't many 104-quad-8 users
that you don't know about William, so if you think we can immediately drop
the interface from that, lets do so, whether or not we can clean up
the stm32 one at the same time.

Hi Jonathan, William,

I apologize for the late reply, being busy on other topics. I think the
stm32 timer driver need some cleanup to remove this ABI:

- stm32-lptimer-counter indeed is similar to 104-quad-8 driver. It still
registers an IIO device with the "preset" attribute pointed out in the
doc warning. Yes, the counter interface covers the same.
So, I agree this ABI could be removed here. Still, I don't know if there
are users for the IIO counter ABI.
Dummy question... Is it needed to drop driver part and ABI, at the same
time ?

- stm32-timer-trigger driver which resides in iio, also registers preset
attr being pointed out above. I'm more concerned there: I think some
modes may depend on the preset attr, even for the trigger. Partial
removal was done by Benjamin earlier (after stm32-timer-cnt addition).
still I need to double check this.

At least dropping the stm32-lptimer-counter part, should avoid the
Warning here. So it may probably be ok in the short term?

Please advise,
Best Regards,
Fabrice
