The code is all right, but some minor suggestions below.

It might be worth introducing a new COUNTER_COMP_FREQUENCY() macro now
that we have a second driver with the 'frequency' extension
(ti-ecap-capture also has 'frequency'). But it's up to you if you want
to add a precursor patch to this series, or I'll introduce it separately
myself in a independent patch.

The word "Signal" feels unnecessary to me when both the sysfs path and
data structure will have 'signal' already. Do you think "Clock" by
itself is clear enough?
