While the main SoC PLL is responsible for the lexra bus frequency
it has no implications on the the timer divisior. Update the
comments accordingly.

During normal operation the timers are reprogrammed including an
interrupt acknowledgement. This has no effect as the whole timer
is setup from scratch afterwards. Especially in an interrupt this
has already been done by rttm_timer_interrupt().
Change the behaviour as follows:
- Use rttm_disable_timer() during reprogramming
- Keep rttm_stop_timer() for all other use cases.
Downstream has already tested and confirmed a patch. See

The current counter value is a read only register. It will be
reset when writing a new target timer value with rttm_set_period().
rttm_set_counter() is essentially a noop. Drop it.
While this makes rttm_start_timer() and rttm_enable_timer() the
same functions keep both to make the established abstraction layers
for register and control functions active.

The OpenWrt distribution has switched from kernel longterm 6.6 to
6.12. Reports show that devices with the Realtek Otto switch platform
die during operation and are rebooted by the watchdog. Sorting out
other possible reasons the Otto timer is to blame. The platform
currently consists of 4 targets with different hardware revisions.
It is not 100% clear which devices and revisions are affected.
Analysis shows:
A more aggressive sched/deadline handling leads to more timer starts
with small intervals. This increases the bug chances. See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=175276556023276&w=2
Focusing on the real issue a hardware limitation on some devices was
found. There is a minimal chance that a timer ends without firing an
interrupt if it is reprogrammed within the 5us before its expiration
time. Work around this issue by introducing a bounce() function. It
restarts the timer directly before the normal restart functions as
follows:
- Stop timer
- Restart timer with a slow frequency.
- Target time will be >5us
- The subsequent normal restart is outside the critical window

The timer/counter block on the Realtek SoCs provides up to 5 timers. It
also includes a watchdog timer which is handled by the
realtek_otto_wdt.c driver.
One timer will be used per CPU as a local clock event generator. An
additional timer will be used as an overal stable clocksource.
