-A defined counter_device structure may be registered to the system by

+A counter_device structure is allocated using counter_alloc() and then
+registered to the system by passing it to the counter_add() function, and
+unregistered by passing it to the counter_unregister function. There are
+device managed variants of these functions: devm_counter_alloc() and
+devm_counter_add().
The struct counter_comp structure is used to define counter extensions
for Signals, Synapses, and Counts.
