The TCU_REG_OST_TCSR register is only used in the probe though.

To get the counter value from TCU_REG_OST_CNTL/TCU_REG_OST_CNTH you 
could technically do it by reading the register directly, if performance 
concerns make it necessary to bypass the usual kernel infrastructure for 
dealing with shared registers.
