Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] Add IIO support for counter devices

Changes in v5:
  - Refactored scale to handle values of 1, 0.5, and 0.25, in order to
    be consistent with the multiplication usage of the other interfaces
  - Reimplemented preset as an ext_info since the preset functionality
    is rather device specific
  - Reimplemented ab_enable ext_info as IIO_CHAN_INFO_ENABLE; this
    should make the counter enable/disable interface more intuitive
  - Renamed "preset_enable" attribute to "set_to_preset_on_index" (and
    refactored as a boolean) to make the functionality clearer
  - Updated documentation to account for the changes in this patchset

This patchset adds new IIO channel type constants to facilitate support
for counter devices. In addition, a new "counter" subdirectory is
created to house drivers for these counter devices.

Quadrature encoders, such as rotary encoders and linear encoders, are
devices which are capable of encoding the relative position and
direction of motion of a shaft. This patchset introduces several IIO
constants for supporting quadrature encoder counter devices.

  IIO_COUNT: Current count (main data provided by the counter device)
  IIO_INDEX: Counter device index value

Specifically, this patchset introduces a driver to support the ACCES
104-QUAD-8 device, a general purpose quadrature encoder
counter/interface board capable of monitoring the outputs of eight
encoders.
