So, more comments/questions below.

Can we switch to do-while and move previous block here? Btw, can TINTE
bit be set again during a loop?

So, we might call handler several times. This needs to be commented in
the code why you do so.

Would it be possible to get all 1:s from the register
(something/autosuspend just powered off it by timeout?) ?
