RSTCSR have to be written to in a method different from normal registers. For details, see section
12.6.1, Notes on Register Access.
• Timer counter (TCNT)
• Timer control/status register (TCSR)
• Reset control/status register (RSTCSR)

Timer Counter (TCNT)
TCNT is an 8-bit readable/writable up-counter. TCNT is initialized to H'00 when the TME bit in
TCSR is cleared to 0.
