Great, let me see if I can cook a patch in the next days

That's awesome, thanks

Yes, but also sort out the existing TIMER_OF_DECLARE macro vs MODULE in 
order to prevent #ifdef MODULE in the drivers

A side note, as Trilok commented:

  - you should not do top post. Keep inline comments with the previous 
emails so we can have the context.

  - trim the emails when possible. IOW remove text not related with the 
discussion

  - use text mode with the mailer, not html or whatever

  - for more information refer to Documentation/process/email-clients.rst

Thanks for your help
