Subject: [PATCH v6 0/5] Add support for Counter array components

Changes in v6:
 - Rebase on latest counter-next branch
 - Add ABI Documentation lines for capture_component_id and
   polarity_component_id

The COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY Counter component type is introduced to enable
support for Counter array components. With Counter array components,
exposure for buffers on counter devices can be defined via new Counter
array component macros. This should simplify code for driver authors who
would otherwise need to define individual Counter components for each
array element.

Eight Counter array component macros are introduced::

        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_U64(_name, _length)
        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_CAPTURE(_name, _length)
        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(_name, _enums, _length)
        COUNTER_COMP_DEVICE_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array)
        COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array)
        COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_ARRAY_U64(_name, _read, _write, _array)
        COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_CAPTURE(_read, _write, _array)
        COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_POLARITY(_read, _write, _array)

Eight Counter array callbacks are introduced as well::

        int (*signal_array_u32_read)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                     struct counter_signal *signal,
                                     size_t idx, u32 *val);
        int (*signal_array_u32_write)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                      struct counter_signal *signal,
                                      size_t idx, u32 val);
        int (*device_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                     size_t idx, u64 *val);
        int (*count_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                    struct counter_count *count,
                                    size_t idx, u64 *val);
        int (*signal_array_u64_read)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                     struct counter_signal *signal,
                                     size_t idx, u64 *val);
        int (*device_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                      size_t idx, u64 val);
        int (*count_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                     struct counter_count *count,
                                     size_t idx, u64 val);
        int (*signal_array_u64_write)(struct counter_device *counter,
                                      struct counter_signal *signal,
                                      size_t idx, u64 val);

Driver authors can handle reads/writes for an array component by
receiving an element index via the `idx` parameter and processing the
respective value via the `val` parameter.

For example, suppose a driver wants to expose a Count's read-only
capture buffer of four elements using a callback
`foobar_capture_read()`::

        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_CAPTURE(foobar_capture_array, 4);
        COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_CAPTURE(foobar_capture_read, NULL,
                                   foobar_capture_array)

Respective sysfs attributes for each array element would appear for the
respective Count:

* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture0
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture1
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture2
* /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/capture3

If a user tries to read _capture2_ for example, `idx` will be `2` when
passed to the `foobar_capture_read()` callback, and thus the driver
knows which array element to handle.

In addition, this patchset introduces the Signal polarity component,
which represents the active level of a respective Signal. There are two
possible states: positive (rising edge) and negative (falling edge). The
104-quad-8 driver is updated to expose its index_polarity functionality
via this new polarity component.

Counter arrays for polarity elements can be defined in a similar
manner as u64 elements::

        const enum counter_signal_polarity foobar_polarity_states[] = {
                COUNTER_SIGNAL_POLARITY_POSITIVE,
                COUNTER_SIGNAL_POLARITY_NEGATIVE,
        };
        DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(foobar_polarity_array,
                                      foobar_polarity_states, 4);
        COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_POLARITY(foobar_polarity_read,
                                    foobar_polarity_write,
                                    foobar_polarity_array)

The only component types supported for Counter arrays currently are
COUNTER_COMP_U64 and COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY.
