I've used a SysTick based implementation on my stm32 branch myself, but
looking at efm32 I got the impression that it would be better to use one
of the 32-bit TIM2/TIM5 as clocksource and the other as clockevents?

Still this implementation will be handy to have, also for other targets.

Ok, will change this in the v2.

My view is that we should use as much generic parts of the Cortex-M as possible.
Moreover, doing, that, we can keep one more IP instance under reset
with associated clock gated,
and so maybe reduce the power consumption a little (I haven't done any
measurements)

Do you see a case where it could be better to use the STM32 timers?


Thanks,
Maxime
