Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add Intel 8254 Counter support

The Intel 8254 PIT first appeared in the early 1980s and was used
initially in IBM PC compatibles. The popularity of the original Intel
825x family of chips led to many subsequent variants and clones of the
interface in various chips and integrated circuits. Although still
popular, interfaces compatible with the Intel 8254 PIT are nowdays
typically found embedded in larger VLSI processing chips and FPGA
components rather than as discrete ICs.

This patch series introduces a library to provide support for interfaces
compatible with the venerable Intel 8254 Programmable Interval Timer
(PIT). Modules wanting access to the i8254 library should select the
newly introduced CONFIG_I8254 Kconfig option, and import the I8254
symbol namespace.

Support for the i8254 is added in respective follow-up patches for the
104-dio-48e driver and stx104 driver whose devices feature i8254
compatible interfaces. Several additional dependencies are necessary for
the 104-dio-48e [0][1][2] and stx104 [3][4].

Due to the dependency requirements, I can take the i8254 introduction
patch through the Counter tree and provide an immutable branch that can
be merged to the GPIO and IIO trees; the 104-dio-48e patch and stx104
patch could then be picked up separately by the respective subsystem
maintainers.
