The current implementation gets device lifetime tracking wrong. The
problem is that allocation of struct counter_device is controlled by the
individual drivers but this structure contains a struct device that
might have to live longer than a driver is bound. As a result a command
sequence like:
{ sleep 5; echo bang; } > /dev/counter0 &
sleep 1;
echo 40000000.timer:counter > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/stm32-timer-counter/unbind
can keep a reference to the struct device and unbinding results in
freeing the memory occupied by this device resulting in an oops.
This commit provides two new functions (plus some helpers):
- counter_alloc() to allocate a struct counter_device that is
automatically freed once the embedded struct device is released
- counter_add() to register such a device.
Note that this commit doesn't fix any issues, all drivers have to be
converted to these new functions to correct the lifetime problems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
