Main changes in v2: 
The code is a bit simpler, thanks to more use of devm_* functions.
The polling/32bit signed version has been dropped, as not needed and
no other driver is doing that.

Patrick,

I see you dropped the polling support in this version. If the need
arises in the future, we can discuss a possible ways of resolving your
latency issues; I imagine interrupts during overflow/underflow events to
be a common behavior among counter devices so those too may result in
latency issues as you discovered in your case.

Jonathan,

If you are satisfied with the changes in this patchset, let me know
which patches you like and I'll add respective Reviewed-by tags for you
for the next Counter subsystem introduction patchset submission.
