TOP should be replaced by BOTTOM, TOP-1 by BOTTOM+1 and so on. The same renaming applies for modes
that set the TOV0 flag at BOTTOM.

11.10 Accessing 16-bit Registers
The TCNT0, OCR0A/B, and ICR0 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via the 8-bit data bus.
The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit
register for temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit access. The same temporary register is shared between
all 16-bit registers within each 16-bit timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When
the low byte of a 16-bit register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the temporary register, and the low
byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is
