This is needed for an mmtimer driver update that we are currently working on. The mmtimer driver provides CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE via clock_gettime and clock_settime. With this api fix one will be able to use timer_create, timer_settime and friends from userspace to schedule and receive signals via timer interrupts of mmtimer. 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 in the same way as for the other posix timer functions. * Isolate a posix_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.
