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.

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. Best regards, Maxime
