[PATCH v7 10/10] iio: counter: Add deprecation markings for IIO Counter attributes

From: William Breathitt Gray
Date: Thu Jun 21 2018 - 17:09:23 EST


The IIO counter subdirectory is now superceded by the Counter subsystem.
This patch adds deprecation warnings to the documentation of the
relevant IIO Counter sysfs attributes.
