This is not a comment on the patch, but a comment on the operation. The first three writeb()s set each of the 3 "8254" counter channels (selected by bits 7..6) to mode 0 (bits 3..1), binary count (bit 0), with the 16-bit counter accessed lsb first (bits 5..4). The remaining writeb() is a bit mysterious. It's a "read-back" command (bits 7..6 = 3), latching the count and status (bits 6 and 5, both negative logic), but with no channels selected (bits 3, 2 and 1 for channels 2, 1 and 0, respectively). Because it doesn't select any channels it's probably a bit of a no-op and therefore unnecessary.
