   - bugfix for microchip-tcb-capture counter driver

  counter: microchip-tcb-capture: Fix undefined counter channel state on probe
  counter: stm32-lptimer-cnt: fix error handling when enabling

In Capture mode, the RC register serves as a compare register for the
Timer Counter Channel. When a the Counter Value reaches the RC value, a
RC Compare event occurs (COUNTER_EVENT_THRESHOLD). This patch exposes
the RC register to userspace as the 'compare' Count extension, thus
allowing users to configure the threshold condition for these events.

TCB hardware is capable of capturing the timer value to registers RA and
RB. Add these registers as capture extensions.

Hardware initialize of the timer counter channel does not occur on probe
thus leaving the Count in an undefined state until the first
function_write() callback is executed. Fix this by performing the proper
hardware initialization during probe.

In case the stm32_lptim_set_enable_state() fails to update CMP and ARR,
a timeout error is raised, by regmap_read_poll_timeout. It may happen,
when the lptimer runs on a slow clock, and the clock is gated only
few times during the polling.

Badly, when this happen, STM32_LPTIM_ENABLE in CR register has been set.
So the 'enable' state in sysfs wrongly lies on the counter being
correctly enabled, due to CR is read as one in stm32_lptim_is_enabled().

To fix both issues:
- enable the clock before writing CMP, ARR and polling ISR bits. It will
avoid the possible timeout error.
- clear the ENABLE bit in CR and disable the clock in the error path.

Clean up the existing export namespace code along the same lines of
commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the
namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.
