This is getting worse. I don't get it why we need a 'framework' to
abstract a single variable. With this series we now have three
layers: a bootcount framework, a midlayer driver and a somfy specific
driver.

Can we please just do something like:

common/bootcount.c:

static int bootcount;

/*
 * Call this with your actual boot count, already increased by one
 * for the current boot.
 */
int bootcount_set(int count)
{
	if (bootcount) {
		pr_err("Bootcount already set\n");
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	bootcount = count;

	return 0;
}

static int bootcount_init(void)
{
	globalvar_add_simple_int_ro("bootcount", &bootcount, "%d");

	return 0;
}
late_initcall(bootcount_init);

Sascha
