[PATCH] counter: microchip-tcb-capture: Fix undefined counter channel state on probe

From: William Breathitt Gray
Date: Wed Mar 05 2025 - 05:03:08 EST


Hardware initialize of the timer counter channel does not occur on probe
thus leaving the Count in an undefined state until the first
function_write() callback is executed. Fix this by performing the proper
hardware initialization during probe.

This should fix the issue where a user needs to set the count function
before they can use the counter. I don't have this hardware in person,
so please test this patch and let me know whether it works for you.
