In the docs this bit is called EPIT.  Its function is to enable the
timer in wait-mode. So is conformance with the docs or the description
of the function more important?  If you *do* rename it, there should
be a comment to say it's EPIT in the i.mx31 documentation.

You're letting the reset function clear the SWR.  It's unclear to me
from the docs whether when the SWR bit is set, assignment to other
fields in the CR happens before or after the reset.  I punted on
`after' (because it seemted to work), this changes to `before'.

The reset looks good --- you seem to understand the ptimer interface
better than I did when I updated this code.
