The architecture is crystal clear on the subject: the counter
is in an always-on domain. Why should this be visible to SW?
Also, reseting the counter breaks the guaranteed monotonicity
we rely on.
Worse case, this belongs to the boot firmware, not the kernel,
and I don't think this should be described in the DT.
