How does this change anything with the fact that the above code is
broken? 56 or 64 bit, you cannot read this counter with a single
access, or two. The canonical way of reading such a counter is
something like this:

	do {
		lo = readl_relaxed(LO);
		hi = readl_relaxed(HI);
	} while (hi != read_relaxed(HI));

And yes, please add some documentation, as I have no idea which one is
which. Having structure and function names that match the IP blocks
used would also help.

Thanks,
