STM32 MCUs feature 16 and 32 bits general purpose timers with
prescalers.
The drivers detects whether the time is 16 or 32 bits, and applies a
1024 prescaler value if it is 16 bits.

Are the interactive bool and the 'COMPILE_TEST' necessary ?


The interactive bool is necessary if we want to be able to
select/deselect it in COMPILE_TEST configuration.
And personnaly, I think COMPILE_TEST use makes sense.

Note that other timer drivers are doing the same thing today
(CLKSRC_EFM32, SH_TIMER_CMT, EM_TIMER_STI...).

Do you have a specific concern regarding COMPILE_TEST?


Actually, we try to keep the timer selection non-interactive and let the
platform's Kconfig to select the timer.

Ok.


I like when the code is consistent. The COMPILE_TEST was introduced and
created a precedence. I would like to get rid of the interactive timer
selection but I did not have time to go through this yet.

Indeed, consistency is important.
On my side, I don't have a strong opinion regarding the COMPILE_TEST thing.
IMHO, it is more a subsystem's maintainer choice.

So, if as a maintainer you don't use it and prefer not supporting it,
I'm fine to provide you a new version without COMPILE_TEST.
Doing that, the interactive selection will disappear too.

I can provide you a new version this evenning.

Ok, great.

Thanks
