 * For the purposes of this function, "counter frequency" is the frequency
 * at which software would observe a timer counter to increase. If the
 * clock has insufficient resolution, high counter frequencies may set a
 * larger value for `tick_step`. For example, if the clock ticks at 50kHz,
 * but we want a counter that seems to tick every microsecond (1MHz),
 * we can achieve this with a prescale of 0 (so that there is a tick per
 * clock cycle) and a tick step of 20 (since 20 * 50kHz = 1MHz).
 *
 * The return value of this function is only an approximation, and the
 * actual counter frequency ultimately depends on the accuracy of the
 * clock. The function will return an error if it cannot produce an acceptably
 * accurate counter frequency using the given clock resolution.
