This might be a bit misleading since the values returned are all lower case,
e.g. "rising edge", whereas they are listed here in Title Case.

Same here about lower case vs. Title Case.

Should this be presetZ in case a device has more than one preset?

And again here (Title Case/lower case)

I guess the actual value returned depends on the type of signal? Would we
need /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY/type to indicate this so we
know how to interpret the value?
