The spec says that the following behaviours are valid:
- Accesses to the register are UNDEFINED .
- Accesses to the register behave as RAZ/WI.
- Accesses to the register execute as a NOP .

Same for the counters. So you can either return true (act as a NOP), or
return false (UNDEF), and even zero r->regval on read and return true
(RAZ/WI).

This is entirely up to you. My personal preference is indeed to UNDEF,
but your current implementation is valid.

Thanks,
