*Timer allowed to skew uptime clock during idle*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    When true, the timer driver is not required to maintain a
    correct system uptime count when the system enters idle.
    Some platforms may take advantage of this to reduce the
    overhead from regular interrupts required to handle counter
    wraparound conditions.

Defaults
========

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to ``n``.
