[snip]

I'm not going to push too hard, but I still thing "advanced-control"
would suit better, since this is not *just* a timer.  In fact, the
parent device (the MFD) doesn't have any timer functionality.  That's
what "timer at 0" does.

The IP is called "Advanced Control" in the datasheet, no?

In datasheet only timers 1 and 8 are called "advanced-control" timers
Timers 2 to 5 and 9 to 14 are called "general purpose" timers.
Timers 6 and 7 are named "basic" timers.

I have ask around in ST and it seems that "general purpose" name was the
best to describe all the timers, so I would like to keep using it.
