Hello Fabrice,

I noticed the stm32-lptimer-cnt.c function_write() and action_write()
callbacks do not appear to write the desired function/action
configuration to the device. Would you check whether the device actually
supports this functionality or if these callbacks should be removed from
this driver.

Thanks,
