[PATCH] counter: microchip-tcb-capture: Add watch validation support

[Dharma Balasubiramani]

Introduce a watch validation callback to restrict supported event and
channel combinations. This allows userspace to receive notifications only
for valid event types and sources. Specifically, enable the following
supported events on channels RA, RB, and RC:

  - COUNTER_EVENT_CAPTURE
  - COUNTER_EVENT_CHANGE_OF_STATE
  - COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW
  - COUNTER_EVENT_THRESHOLD
