In general, the set/clr registers should always be used in their write form, never in a RMW form (imagine an interrupt disabling a counter between the read and the write...). The current implementation of [enable|disable]_counter both use the RMW form, fix them by directly write to the set/clr registers. At the same time, it also fix the buggy disable_counter() which would end up disabling all the counters.
