We still need some hint that the timer works in millisecond resolution, though - no matter what you call it.
How about just calling it HZ (or something more verbose like TIMER_HZ, but the former makes it easier to share code with Linux) and declaring it in a non-board header?
It's OK with me. Other opinions?
Obviously only like-minded people around.
I'm not particular ... and please don't mistake my sometimes dry sense of humor as complaining ... that's rarely my intent .... but please don't use a name that implies it is configurable. I learned the hard way that it is not. ;-)
If the value truly represents clocks per tick, or milliseconds per tick, and the value is always fixed, something along those lines would certainly be appropriate.
