The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 features both a high-resolution and a high-accuracy usage with the lower prescaling opportuni-
ties. Similarly, the high-prescaling opportunities make the Timer/Counter0 useful for lower-speed functions or exact-timing
functions with infrequent actions.

Bits 7..3 - Res : Reserved bits:
These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny15L and always read as zero.

Bits 2,1,0 - CS02, CS01, CS00 : Clock Select0, bit 2,1 and 0:
The Clock Select0 bits 2,1 and 0 define the prescaling source of Timer0.
The Stop condition provides a Timer Enable/Disable function. The prescaled CK modes are scaled directly from the CK
oscillator clock. If the external pin modes are used for Timer/Counter0, transitions on PB2/(T0) will clock the counter even if
the pin is configured as an output. This feature can give the user SW control of counting.
