The SAMV7's qencoder driver now supports the GETINDEX ioctl call
which does not reset the internal Timer/Counter and returns
the current position, position of the last index and the number
of captured indexes to a struct qe_index_s pointer. Because the
SAMV7's timers are 16bit, the extension to 32 bits must be done.
Select CONFIG_SAMV7_QENCODER_ENABLE_GETINDEX in the Kconfig to
enable this functionality.
This driver does not obey the instructions given in the ATSAMV7
2023 datasheet because the recommended trigger resets the internal
counter which is not desired. Instead, a capture into capture A
and capture B registers is used. This way if an event happens
(the rising edge of the index signal), the current counter's value
is captured.
