Ah, my bad... I did NOT know what I was thinking...
Yes, I will add the PS check to decide whether disabling counter..

Let me try to poll the TOF (timer overflow) before setup the new configuration.
And will also need to add timeout for the polling, what shoud the timeout value
be, 100ms? As ideally the max period can be very large, several seconds or even
large, so is the 100mS good here?

Ah, OK, I can replace the register field clear with the field prepare definition.
