Because enums are (by definition) of type `int' but your register is
of type `unsigned char'.

However, beware that the above definition only applies to early AVRs.
We should probably deprecate the use of <avr/timer.h> alltogether.
timer_stop()/timer_start() are complete nonsense (you cannot
start/stop a timer by writing to the TCNTx register).  This header
file can at best serve as a simple example.
