Subject: [PATCH v9 26/33] counter: Add character device interface
Date:   Tue,  9 Mar 2021 22:19:39 +0900
Message-Id: <b35e1e907cd7dd38d31085220c531d985898620e.1615293276.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.
