* Agreed.  There's def. nothing fancy going on in the method...
```rust
    #[expect(
        clippy::inline_always,
        reason = "cycle counter should use the absolute minimum number of clock cycles"
    )]
    #[inline(always)]
    fn cycle_count(&self) -> u64 {
        // INVARIANT: `timelr` (32-bit) must be read before `timehr` (32-bit) for hardware latching
        //      to guarantees 64-bit consistency.
        // TIMER0 registers should be `LOCKED` = 1 (see `rpi_pico_2_w_cortex_m::boot::pre_init()`).
        let low = TIMER0.timelr().read();
        let high = TIMER0.timehr().read();
        (u64::from(high) << u32::BITS) | u64::from(low)
    }
