The only valid way in my opinion would be to implement the init_time
callback (as your first proposal),
duplicating what performs the time_init() function.

Then, if other machines than sunxi and stm32 have some day the same need,
we could consider moving the call to reset_controller_of_init()
function to time_init().

Could you elaborate the reason why we want to limit this mechanism please?
I am not sure to understand.

Thanks,
