Ok, the counter doesn't overflow. To keep the logic in the driver
simple, I think it's best to read the value and reset the counter
directly in the next line. Please add a comment like: "The counter
reaches its maximum at 0xffff and does not overflow. Accept the small
race window between reading and resetting."
