Changes in v13:
 - Use GFP_KERNEL when using mutexes instead of spinlocks
 - Free event_node on error in counter_set_event_node
 - Create n_events_list_lock mutex for protecting next_events_list
   access
 - Adjust counter_set_event_node() locking to cover watch_validate() too
 - Pull out COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL code into its own function
   counter_enable_events()
 - Reimplement chrdev_lock as a bitmap and utilize
   test_and_set_bit_lock()/clear_bit_unlock() to handle locking
 - Move wake_up_poll() call to after spin_unlock_irqrestore() in the
   counter_push_event() function
 - Drop the lock on error in counter_events_queue_size_write()
 - Rename "group" to "cattr_group" where appropriate for clarity
 - Pull allocation of attribute groups to outside of for-loop in
   counter_sysfs_add()
 - Define and use enum translation function st32_lptim_func_map()
 - Provide complete example in enum counter_component documentation
 - Provide inline description comments for enum counter_event_type
 - Move documentation of Counter ioctl commands inline with code and
   reference them using :c:macro: in generic-counter.rst
 - Make it clear which callbacks are optional in struct counter_ops
 - Use HTML tables in Documentation/driver-api/generic-counter.rst
 - Qualify struct counter_watch watches as statin in counter_example.c
 - Return 1 on read() error in counter_example.c
 - Remove unnecessary explicit casts in counter_example.c

For convenience, this patchset is also available on my personal git
repo: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v13

The patches preceding "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" are
primarily cleanup and fixes that can be picked up and applied now to the
IIO tree if so desired. The "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code"
patch as well may be considered for pickup because it is relatively safe
and makes no changes to the userspace interface.

To summarize the main points of this patchset: there are no changes to
the existing Counter sysfs userspace interface; 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.

I did discover an issue with the character device code that I'm having
trouble understanding. The issue does not affect the sysfs interface
code so it's still safe to merge up to patch 08/17; only the character
device node is affected starting with patch 10/17.

Suppose I open the chrdev from a userspace application and keep it open,
but then remove the respective driver and Counter subsystem module from
my system. The devm_counter_release() and counter_exit() functions will
be called as expected; the counter_chrdev_release() function will not be
called yet, but that is expected because the chrdev is still open by
userspace. If I try to break out of my userspace application, I expect
counter_chrdev_release() to finally be called, but this does not happen.
Instead, my userspace application stalls and I see the following error
in my dmesg:

[  172.860073] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

It looks like faults in filp_close() before counter_chrdev_release() is
called. Is this issue manifesting because counter_exit() was called
earlier while the chrdev was still open?
