From: Tao Zhang <tao.zhang@oss.qualcomm.com>
The TPDA_SYNC counter tracks the number of bytes transferred from the
aggregator. When this count reaches the value programmed in the
TPDA_SYNCR register, an ASYNC request is triggered, allowing userspace
tools to accurately parse each valid packet.

What is COUNT here ? and more importantly how is this usefule without
the support for setting the COUNT ? Do we plan to expose setting this ?
If yes, why not now ? I don't see the point of merging "this" patch
without the support for setting the counter.

During enable_pre_port, COUNT is configured to its maximum value. This
counter tracks packets received by TPDA and inserts an async packet once
the specified value is reached.
I will add the sysfs node for COUNT. I didnt add it because we typically
didnt modify the value of the COUNT, but it's better to have a node for
setting the value when needed.
