Contention between TCNT Write and Clear Operations:
If the counter clear signal is generated in the T2 state of a TCNT write cycle, TCNT clearing takes
priority and the TCNT write is not performed. Figure 12.47 shows the timing in this case.

Contention between TCNT Write and Increment Operations:
If incrementing occurs in the T2 state of a TCNT write cycle, the TCNT write takes priority and
TCNT is not incremented. Figure 12.48 shows the timing in this case.
