Should we follow the same prefix for these functions?
either timer_riscv* or riscv_timer* ?

Apologies for overlooking this in my timer patch as wel

riscv_timer_* sounds saner to me, I can update that.


Thanks.

The comment about the purpose of clearing the interrupt in the original
patch is removed here. If that's intentional, it's fine.

I thought having that comment helps understanding the distinction between
clearing the timer interrupt in SBI call & here.

Yes, that was intentional.  But given that I don't even understand why
not using an ABI for architectural interrupt source enable/disable maybe
I'm confused and should revisit that decision.


I tried adding a new SBI call to disable the interrupts. However, I realized that it is not recommended to change the SBI unless absolutely required.

Here is the PR & following discussion.
