[PATCH v2 1/2] doc: Document timer API

Sean Anderson seanga2 at gmail.com
Wed Oct 7 20:37:43 CEST 2020


This adds kerneldocs for <timer.h>.

I don't know who should maintain doc/api/timer.rst, since the timer
subsystem seems to be maintained by SoC maintainers. MAINTAINERS is left
un-updated for the moment.
