Subject: [PATCH 1/4] counter: Internalize sysfs interface code

This is a reimplementation of the Generic Counter driver interface.
There are no modifications to the Counter subsystem userspace interface,
so existing userspace applications should continue to run seamlessly.

Overview
========

The purpose of this patch is to internalize the sysfs interface code
among the various counter drivers into a shared module. Counter drivers
pass and take data natively (i.e. unsigned long, bool, size_t, etc.) and
the shared counter module handles the translation between the sysfs
interface. This gurantees a standard userspace interface for all counter
drivers, and helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in order to
support the Generic Counter chardev interface (introduced in a
subsequent patch) without changes to the existing counter drivers.

A high-level view of how a count value is passed down from a counter
driver can be exemplified by the following:

There are three primary components involved:

	Counter device driver
	---------------------
	Communicates with the hardware device to read/write data; e.g.
	counter drivers for 104-quad-8, stm32-timer, etc.

	Counter core
	------------
	Registers the counter device driver to the system so that the
	respective callbacks are called during userspace interaction

	Counter sysfs
	-------------
	Translates counter data to the standard Counter sysfs interface
	format and vice versa

Driver ABI
==========

This reimplementation entails several changes to the driver ABI. In
particular, the device driver callbacks are now expected to handle
standard C datatypes rather than translating the sysfs I/O directly.

To that end, the struct counter_data structure is introduced to
establish counter extensions for Signals, Synapses, and Counts:

struct counter_data {
	enum counter_data_type type;
	const char *name;
	void *read;
	void *write;
	void *priv;
};

The "type" member specifies the type of data (e.g. unsigned long,
boolean, etc.) handled by this extension. The "read" and "write" members
can then be set by the counter device driver with callbacks to handle
that data.

Convenience macros such as COUNTER_DATA_UNSIGNED_LONG are provided for
use by driver authors. In particular, driver authors are expected to use
the provided macros for standard Counter subsystem attributes in order
to maintain a consistent interface for userspace. For example, a counter
device driver may define several standard attributes like so:

struct counter_data count_ext[] = {
	COUNTER_DATA_DIRECTION(count_direction_read),
	COUNTER_DATA_ENABLE(count_enable_read, count_enable_write),
	COUNTER_DATA_CEILING(count_ceiling_read, count_ceiling_write),
};

This makes it intuitive to see, add, and modify the attributes that are
supported by this driver ("direction", "enable", and "ceiling") and to
maintain this code without getting lost in a web of struct braces.

Callbacks must match the function type expected for the respective
component or extension. These types are defined in the
drivers/counter/counter-function-types.h file.

The corresponding prototypes for the callbacks would be:

int count_direction_read(struct counter_device *counter,
			 struct counter_count *count,
			 enum counter_count_direction *direction);
int count_enable_read(struct counter_device *counter,
		      struct counter_count *count, bool *enable);
int count_enable_write(struct counter_device *counter,
		       struct counter_count *count, bool enable);
int count_ceiling_read(struct counter_device *counter,
		       struct counter_count *count,
		       unsigned long *ceiling);
int count_ceiling_write(struct counter_device *counter,
			struct counter_count *count,
			unsigned long ceiling);

In this way, driver authors no longer need to mess with sysfs strings
and are instead able to focus on what they actually care about doing --
getting data to/from the devices -- while the Generic Counter interface
handles the translation of that data for them between the various
userspace interfaces (e.g. sysfs and chardev).

Architecture
============

Counter device registration is the same as before: drivers populate a
struct counter_device with components and callbacks, then pass the
structure to the devm_counter_register function. However, what's
different now is how the Counter subsystem code handles this
registration internally.

Whereas before callbacks would interact directly with sysfs data, this
interaction is now abstracted and instead callbacks interact with native
C data types. The counter_data structure forms the basis for Counter
extentions.

The counter-sysfs.c file contains the code to parse through the
counter_device structure and register the requested components and
extensions. Attributes are created and populated based on type, with
respective translation functions to handle the mapping between sysfs and
the counter driver callbacks.

The counter-sysfs-callbacks.c file contains the code to map between the
abstract read and write callbacks of the counter driver and the more
specific show and store callbacks expected for sysfs. This mapping is
represented by the counter_data_sysfs_show and counter_data_sysfs_store
arrays, which point to the show and store translation functions for each
attribute.

The translation performed for each attribute is straightforward: the
attribute type and data is parsed from the counter_attribute structure,
the respective counter driver read/write callback is cast, and sysfs
I/O is handled before or after the driver read/write function is called.

The counter-function-types.h file contains the typedefs to simplify this
casting code. The counter-strings.h file contains the standard Counter
sysfs I/O string constants to maintain a consistent interface for
userspace.
