Subject: [PATCH v7 3/5] counter: Add character device interface
Date:   Fri, 25 Dec 2020 19:15:36 -0500
Message-Id: <57bc509273bf288d74835e6ebdaebf27b4991888.1608935587.git.vilhelm.gray@gmail.com>

This patch introduces a character device interface for the Counter
subsystem. Device data is exposed through standard character device read
operations. Device data is gathered when a Counter event is pushed by
the respective Counter device driver. Configuration is handled via ioctl
operations on the respective Counter character device node.
