    cobalt/timer: pipeline: abstract tick management · 86295f90
    Philippe Gerum authored and Jan Kiszka's avatar Jan Kiszka committed
    
    
    Dovetail comes with built-in support for proxy tick device management,
    which enables a client core to grab control over the timer hardware
    based on the common clockevents abstraction.
    
    Once Dovetail's proxy tick device is declared to the common clockevent
    device layer, all timing requests issued by the in-band kernel for
    programming timer shots and controlling the device are transparently
    redirected to the real-time core for handling.
    
    The legacy ipipe_timer interface needs to move to the I-pipe section.
    
    No functional change is introduced.
