The Enhanced Capture (ECAP) module can be used to timestamp events
detected on signal input pin. It can be used for time measurements
of pulse train signals.
ECAP module includes 4 timestamp capture registers. For all 4 sequenced
timestamp capture events (0->1->2->3->0->...), edge polarity (falling/rising
edge) can be selected.
This driver leverages counter subsystem to :
- select edge polarity for all 4 capture events (event mode)
- log timestamps for each capture event
Event polarity, and CAP0/1/2/3 timestamps give all the information
about the input pulse train. Further information can easily be computed :
period and/or duty cycle if frequency is constant, elapsed time between
pulses, etc...
This patchset must be applied on top of the following counter subsystem patchset :

Modifications since v7 :
- Simplify ecap_cnt_capture_get/set_evmode() functions
- Modify ecap_cnt_count_write() callback
- Modify ecap_cnt_watch_validate() callback
- Modify ecap_cnt_pol_read() callback
- Add ecap_cnt_cap_write() callback
- Modify ecap_cnt_nb_ovf_write() callback
- Use DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_CAPTURE() and COUNTER_COMP_ARRAY_CAPTURE() macros
- Push COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW to all 4 channels in ISR
- Redefine time_cntr and related functions as u32
- Remove ecap_cnt_capture_set_evmode() function call in probe function
Userspace commands :
### CLOCK SIGNAL ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/signal0
# Get frequency
cat frequency
### INPUT SIGNAL ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/signal1
# Get polarity for each capture event
cat polarity0
cat polarity1
cat polarity2
cat polarity3
# Set polarity for each capture event
echo positive > polarity0
echo negative > polarity1
echo positive > polarity2
echo negative > polarity3
### COUNT ###
cd /sys/bus/counter/devices/counter0/count0
# Get ceiling (counter max value)
cat ceiling
# Reset number of overflows & current timebase counter value
echo 0 > num_overflows
echo 0 > count
# Run ECAP
echo 1 > enable
# Get number of overflows & current timebase counter value
cat num_overflows
cat count
# Get captured timestamps
cat capture0
cat capture1
cat capture2
cat capture3
# Note that counter watches can also be used to get
# data from userspace application
# -> see tools/counter/counter_example.c
# Pause ECAP
echo 0 > enable
