Changelog * Clean up timer api for drivers that use register_posix_clock. Drivers will then be able to use posix timers to schedule interrupts. * Change API for posix_clocks[].timer_create to only pass one pointer to a k_itimer structure that is now allocated and managed by the posix layer. * isolate a timer_event(timr) function in posix-timers.c that may be called by the interrupt routine of a timer to signal that the scheduled event has taken place.
