+Description:
+ Count mode for channel Y. The ceiling and floor values for
+ Count Y are used by the count mode where required. The following
+ count modes are available:
+
+ normal:
+ Counting is continuous in either direction.
+
+ range limit:
+ An upper or lower limit is set, mimicking limit switches
+ in the mechanical counterpart. The upper limit is set to
+ the Count Y ceiling value, while the lower limit is set
+ to the Count Y floor value. The counter freezes at
+ count = ceiling when counting up, and at count = floor
+ when counting down. At either of these limits, the
+ counting is resumed only when the count direction is
+ reversed.
+
+ non-recycle:
+ The counter is disabled whenever a counter overflow or
+ underflow takes place. The counter is re-enabled when a
+ new count value is loaded to the counter via a preset
+ operation or direct write.
+
+ modulo-n:
+ A count value boundary is set between the Count Y floor
+ value and the Count Y ceiling value. The counter is
+ reset to the Count Y floor value at count = ceiling when
+ counting up, while the counter is set to the Count Y
+ ceiling value at count = floor when counting down; the
+ counter does not freeze at the boundary points, but
+ counts continuously throughout.

+Description:
+ Read-only attribute that indicates the count direction of Count
+ Y. Two count directions are available: forward and backward.
+
+ Some counter devices are able to determine the direction of
+ their counting. For example, quadrature encoding counters can
+ determine the direction of movement by evaluating the leading

+ boolean.
+
+ This attribute is intended to serve as a pause/unpause mechanism
+ for Count Y. Suppose a counter device is used to count the total
+ movement of a conveyor belt: this attribute allows an operator
+ to temporarily pause the counter, service the conveyor belt,
+ and then finally unpause the counter to continue where it had
+ left off.

+ attributes. The following count functions are available:
+
+ increase:
+ Accumulated count is incremented.
+
+ decrease:
+ Accumulated count is decremented.
+
+ pulse-direction:
+ Rising edges on signal A updates the respective count.
+ The input level of signal B determines direction.
+
+ quadrature x1 a:
+ If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair
+ signal A updates the respective count; if the direction
+ is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal A
+ updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+ determines the direction.
+

+ signal B updates the respective count; if the direction
+ is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal B
+ updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+ determines the direction.
+

+ Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates
+ the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
+ direction.
+

+* Arcx Anybus-S controller
+
+This chip communicates with the SoC over a parallel bus. It is
+expected that its Device Tree node is specified as the child of a node
+corresponding to the parallel bus used for communication.
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+
+ - compatible : The following chip-specific string:
+ "arcx,anybus-controller"
+
+ - reg : three areas:
+ index 0: bus memory area where the cpld registers are located.
+ index 1: bus memory area of the first host's dual-port ram.
+ index 2: bus memory area of the second host's dual-port ram.
+
+ - reset-gpios : the GPIO pin connected to the reset line of the controller.
+
+ - interrupts : two interrupts:
+ index 0: interrupt connected to the first host
+ index 1: interrupt connected to the second host
+ Generic interrupt client node bindings are described in
+ interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
+
+Optional: use of subnodes
+-------------------------
+
+The card connected to a host may need additional properties. These can be
+specified in subnodes to the controller node.
+
+The subnodes are identified by the standard 'reg' property. Which information
+exactly can be specified depends on the bindings for the function driver
+for the subnode.
+
+Required controller node properties when using subnodes:
+- #address-cells: should be one.
+- #size-cells: should be zero.
+
+Required subnode properties:
+- reg: Must contain the host index of the card this subnode describes:
+ <0> for the first host on the controller
+ <1> for the second host on the controller
+ Note that only a single card can be plugged into a host, so the host
+ index uniquely describes the card location.
+
+Example of usage:
+-----------------
+
+This example places the bridge on top of the i.MX WEIM parallel bus, see:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/imx-weim.txt
+
+&weim {
+ controller@0,0 {
+ compatible = "arcx,anybus-controller";

+ If this field is left empty, DIO1 is assigned as default data ready

+- clocks: phandle to the external clock. Should be set according to
+ "clock-names".
+ If this field is left empty together with the "clock-names" field, then
+ the internal clock is used.
+- clock-names: The name of the external clock to be used. Valid values are:
+ * sync: In sync mode, the internal clock is disabled and the frequency
+ of the external clock signal establishes therate of data
+ collection and processing. See Fig 14 and 15 in the datasheet.
+ The clock-frequency must be:
+ * 3000 to 4500 Hz for adis1649x devices.
+ * 700 to 2400 Hz for adis1648x devices.
+ * pps: In Pulse Per Second (PPS) Mode, the rate of data collection and
+ production is equal to the product of the external clock
+ frequency and the scale factor in the SYNC_SCALE register, see
+ Table 154 in the datasheet.
+ The clock-frequency must be:
+ * 1 to 128 Hz for adis1649x devices.
+ * This mode is not supported by adis1648x devices.

+- adi,ext-clk-pin: The DIOx line to be used as an external clock input.
+ Valid values are:
+ * DIO1

+ * DIO3
+ * DIO4
+ Each DIOx pin supports only one function at a time (data ready line

+=========================
+Generic Counter Interface
+=========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Counter devices are prevalent within a diverse spectrum of industries.
+The ubiquitous presence of these devices necessitates a common interface
+and standard of interaction and exposure. This driver API attempts to
+resolve the issue of duplicate code found among existing counter device
+drivers by introducing a generic counter interface for consumption. The
+Generic Counter interface enables drivers to support and expose a common
+set of components and functionality present in counter devices.
+
+Theory
+======
+
+Counter devices can vary greatly in design, but regardless of whether
+some devices are quadrature encoder counters or tally counters, all
+counter devices consist of a core set of components. This core set of
+components, shared by all counter devices, is what forms the essence of
+the Generic Counter interface.
+
+There are three core components to a counter:
+
+* Count:
+ Count data for a set of Signals.
+
+* Signal:
+ Input data that is evaluated by the counter to determine the count
+ data.
+
+* Synapse:
+ The association of a Signal with a respective Count.
+
+COUNT
+-----
+A Count represents the count data for a set of Signals. The Generic
+Counter interface provides the following available count data types:
+
+* COUNT_POSITION:
+ Unsigned integer value representing position.
+
+A Count has a count function mode which represents the update behavior
+for the count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available count function modes:
+
+* Increase:
+ Accumulated count is incremented.
+
+* Decrease:
+ Accumulated count is decremented.
+
+* Pulse-Direction:
+ Rising edges on signal A updates the respective count. The input level
+ of signal B determines direction.
+
+* Quadrature:
+ A pair of quadrature encoding signals are evaluated to determine
+ position and direction. The following Quadrature modes are available:
+
+ - x1 A:
+ If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal A
+ updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+ edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the respective count.
+ Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x1 B:
+ If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal B
+ updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+ edges on quadrature pair signal B updates the respective count.
+ Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x2 A:
+ Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x2 B:
+ Any state transition on quadrature pair signal B updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x4:
+ Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+A Count has a set of one or more associated Signals.
+
+SIGNAL
+------
+A Signal represents a counter input data; this is the input data that is
+evaluated by the counter to determine the count data; e.g. a quadrature
+signal output line of a rotary encoder. Not all counter devices provide
+user access to the Signal data.
+
+The Generic Counter interface provides the following available signal
+data types for when the Signal data is available for user access:
+
+* SIGNAL_LEVEL:
+ Signal line state level. The following states are possible:
+
+ - SIGNAL_LEVEL_LOW:
+ Signal line is in a low state.
+
+ - SIGNAL_LEVEL_HIGH:
+ Signal line is in a high state.
+
+A Signal may be associated with one or more Counts.
+
+SYNAPSE
+-------
+A Synapse represents the association of a Signal with a respective
+Count. Signal data affects respective Count data, and the Synapse
+represents this relationship.
+
+The Synapse action mode specifies the Signal data condition which
+triggers the respective Count's count function evaluation to update the
+count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available action modes:
+
+* None:
+ Signal does not trigger the count function. In Pulse-Direction count
+ function mode, this Signal is evaluated as Direction.
+
+* Rising Edge:
+ Low state transitions to high state.
+
+* Falling Edge:
+ High state transitions to low state.
+
+* Both Edges:
+ Any state transition.
+
+A counter is defined as a set of input signals associated with count
+data that are generated by the evaluation of the state of the associated
+input signals as defined by the respective count functions. Within the
+context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter consists of Counts
+each associated with a set of Signals, whose respective Synapse
+instances represent the count function update conditions for the
+associated Counts.
+
+Paradigm
+========
+
+The most basic counter device may be expressed as a single Count
+associated with a single Signal via a single Synapse. Take for example
+a counter device which simply accumulates a count of rising edges on a
+source input line::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +---------------------+
+ | Data: Count | Rising Edge ________
+ | Function: Increase | <------------- / Source \
+ | | ____________
+ +---------------------+
+
+In this example, the Signal is a source input line with a pulsing
+voltage, while the Count is a persistent count value which is repeatedly
+incremented. The Signal is associated with the respective Count via a
+Synapse. The increase function is triggered by the Signal data condition
+specified by the Synapse -- in this case a rising edge condition on the
+voltage input line. In summary, the counter device existence and
+behavior is aptly represented by respective Count, Signal, and Synapse
+components: a rising edge condition triggers an increase function on an
+accumulating count datum.
+
+A counter device is not limited to a single Signal; in fact, in theory
+many Signals may be associated with even a single Count. For example, a
+quadrature encoder counter device can keep track of position based on
+the states of two input lines::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +-------------------------+
+ | Data: Position | Both Edges ___
+ | Function: Quadrature x4 | <------------ / A \
+ | | _______
+ | |
+ | | Both Edges ___
+ | | <------------ / B \
+ | | _______
+ +-------------------------+
+
+In this example, two Signals (quadrature encoder lines A and B) are
+associated with a single Count: a rising or falling edge on either A or
+B triggers the "Quadrature x4" function which determines the direction
+of movement and updates the respective position data. The "Quadrature
+x4" function is likely implemented in the hardware of the quadrature
+encoder counter device; the Count, Signals, and Synapses simply
+represent this hardware behavior and functionality.
+
+Signals associated with the same Count can have differing Synapse action
+mode conditions. For example, a quadrature encoder counter device
+operating in a non-quadrature Pulse-Direction mode could have one input
+line dedicated for movement and a second input line dedicated for
+direction::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +---------------------------+
+ | Data: Position | Rising Edge ___
+ | Function: Pulse-Direction | <------------- / A \ (Movement)
+ | | _______
+ | |
+ | | None ___
+ | | <------------- / B \ (Direction)
+ | | _______
+ +---------------------------+
+
+Only Signal A triggers the "Pulse-Direction" update function, but the
+instantaneous state of Signal B is still required in order to know the
+direction so that the position data may be properly updated. Ultimately,
+both Signals are associated with the same Count via two respective
+Synapses, but only one Synapse has an active action mode condition which
+triggers the respective count function while the other is left with a
+"None" condition action mode to indicate its respective Signal's
+availability for state evaluation despite its non-triggering mode.
+
+Keep in mind that the Signal, Synapse, and Count are abstract
+representations which do not need to be closely married to their
+respective physical sources. This allows the user of a counter to
+divorce themselves from the nuances of physical components (such as
+whether an input line is differential or single-ended) and instead focus
+on the core idea of what the data and process represent (e.g. position
+as interpreted from quadrature encoding data).
+
+Userspace Interface
+===================
+
+Several sysfs attributes are generated by the Generic Counter interface,
+and reside under the /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX directory, where
+counterX refers to the respective counter device. Please see
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sys-bus-counter-generic-sysfs for detailed
+information on each Generic Counter interface sysfs attribute.
+
+Through these sysfs attributes, programs and scripts may interact with
+the Generic Counter paradigm Counts, Signals, and Synapses of respective
+counter devices.
+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+Driver authors may utilize the Generic Counter interface in their code
+by including the include/linux/counter.h header file. This header file
+provides several core data structures, function prototypes, and macros
+for defining a counter device.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/counter.h
+ :internal:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/counter/generic-counter.c
+ :export:
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
+Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
+be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
+allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
+the system.
+
+Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
+respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
+counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
+stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
+respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
+set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
+before the Counter is registered to the system.
+
+Driver callbacks should be provided to the counter_device structure via
+a constant counter_ops structure in order to communicate with the
+device: to read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get
+the "action mode" and "function mode" for various Synapses and Counts
+respectively.
+
+A defined counter_device structure may be registered to the system by
+passing it to the counter_register function, and unregistered by passing
+it to the counter_unregister function. Similarly, the
+devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions may be used
+if device memory-managed registration is desired.
+
+Extension sysfs attributes can be created for auxiliary functionality
+and data by passing in defined counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext,
+and counter_signal_ext structures. In these cases, the
+counter_device_ext structure is used for global configuration of the
+respective Counter device, while the counter_count_ext and
+counter_signal_ext structures allow for auxiliary exposure and
+configuration of a specific Count or Signal respectively.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+When the Generic Counter interface counter module is loaded, the
+counter_init function is called which registers a bus_type named
+"counter" to the system. Subsequently, when the module is unloaded, the
+counter_exit function is called which unregisters the bus_type named
+"counter" from the system.
+
+Counter devices are registered to the system via the counter_register
+function, and later removed via the counter_unregister function. The
+counter_register function establishes a unique ID for the Counter
+device and creates a respective sysfs directory, where X is the
+mentioned unique ID:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX
+
+Sysfs attributes are created within the counterX directory to expose
+functionality, configurations, and data relating to the Counts, Signals,
+and Synapses of the Counter device, as well as options and information
+for the Counter device itself.
+
+Each Signal has a directory created to house its relevant sysfs
+attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Signal:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY
+
+Similarly, each Count has a directory created to house its relevant
+sysfs attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Count:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY
+
+For a more detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface
+sysfs attributes, please refer to the
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sys-bus-counter file.
+
+The Signals and Counts associated with the Counter device are registered
+to the system as well by the counter_register function. The
+signal_read/signal_write driver callbacks are associated with their
+respective Signal attributes, while the count_read/count_write and
+function_get/function_set driver callbacks are associated with their
+respective Count attributes; similarly, the same is true for the
+action_get/action_set driver callbacks and their respective Synapse
+attributes. If a driver callback is left undefined, then the respective
+read/write permission is left disabled for the relevant attributes.
+
+Similarly, extension sysfs attributes are created for the defined
+counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext, and counter_signal_ext
+structures that are passed in.
