On 32 bits platforms, timer_get_us() returns an unsigned long which is a 32 bits. timer_get_us() wraps around every 72 minutes (2 ^ 32 / 1000000 =~ 4295 sec =~ 72 min).
So the test "if time_after_eq64(now, cyclic->next_call)" is no more true when cyclic->next_call becomes above 32 bits max value (4294967295).
At this point after 72 min, no more cyclic function are executed included watchdog one.
Instead of using timer_get_us(), use get_timer_us() which returns a uint64_t, this allows a rollover every 584942 years.

Thanks, Stefan
Hi Stefan
I found another issue regarding cyclic. I didn't notice it due to debug trace i activated to find this issue, but after 72 min , i got :
ERROR: cyclic function watchdog took too long: -4294967293us vs 1000us max
This is due to remaining usage of timer_get_us() in cyclic_register() and in cyclic_run(). they also need to be replaced by get_timer_us(0).
I will send a v2 for that.
