-- Entity: Ring counter/Johnson Counter
--
-- Description:
--
-- This module implements an up/down ring-counter with loadable initial value
-- (``seed``) on reset. The counter can be configured to a Johnson counter by
-- enabling ``INVERT_FEEDBACK``. The number of counter bits is configurable with
-- ``BITS``.
