Hmm, prescalers seem common enough among counter devices to permit these
attributes to be listed in the sysfs-bus-counter documentation file.
However, I'd like to wait until we get another counter driver for a
device with a prescaler before we make that move. From there, we'll have
a better vantage point to determine a fitting standard prescaler
attribute behavior.

So for now, we'll keep these attributes documented here in the
sysfs-bus-counter-ftm-quaddec file, until the time comes to broach the
discussion again.
