[rtl] Fix counter reset value on FPGA
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the counter width is >= 49, we do not use a DSP on the FPGA.
Then, we should use an asynchronous reset to initialize the counter.

This bug was detected when enabling the lockstep for the CW340. A
lockstep mismatch happend as the mcycle counters of the main and
shadow core did not match due to this bug.
