Most interesting element this time is the new chrdev based interface
for the counter subsystem. Affects all drivers. Some minor precursor
patches.
Major parts:
* Bring all the sysfs attribute setup into the counter core rather than
leaving it to individual drivers. Docs updates accompany these changes.
* Move various definitions to a uapi header as now needed from userspace.
* Add the chardev interface + extensive documentation and example tool
* Add new ABI needed to identify indexes needed for chrdev interface
* Implement new interface for the 104-quad-8
* Follow up deals with wrong path for documentation build
* Various trivial cleanups and missing feature additions related to this
series
