Yes it isn't easy to find the good name for that, maybe signal capabilities or
signal behavoir could also be considere.

I do not have access to the hardware input value anyway so I will just
keep those functions empty.

I have done some progress in driver implementation but I have questions
and suggestion, see below.

I have an issue with this check because I believe it make impossible to call
the callback registered in iio_info since the channel isn't always
IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW
but could be  IIO_CHAN_INFO_ENABLE or IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE in my driver.
Maybe it is comming from my code be I don't understand how it could
works in 104-quad-8 either

I think it would be more clear if structures iio_counter_signal,
iio_counter_trigger
and iio_counter_value embedded the functions related to their use.
For example struct iio_counter_trigger could have trigger_mode_set and
trigger_mode_get
functions. If you do like that you can remove iio_counter_ops.

Do you think that some functions like get/set counter value, direction
and counter
range (min, max) are generic enough to be included in
iio_counter_value structure ?

I think we can remove init_signals and num_init_signals from this structure
because they are already linked with the values through trigger structure.
