I'm having trouble understanding this case. If 32-bit access is enabled
by setting the LWA bit, and the MTU1 signals are configured as MTCLKA
and MTCLKB while at the same time the MTU2 signals are configured as
MTCLKC and MTCLKD, how is the 32-bit count value determined -- wouldn't
MTU1 and MTU2 be counting independently if they each had separate input
clocks fed to them?
