I don't see why our counter wouldn't be stable at that point?
Our register is zero or the proper counter. Our frm_counter reg
doesn't stop when vblank interrupts are disabled afaik...
But well, I see your point of making something more robust, using
the well known and tested methods and preparing for the case
where someone start using this call in other platforms as well....
So, whatever you decide..
