Timer是一種Callback機制,提供使用者設定片段時間後觸發的方式,Timer有區分一次性或者週期性,Linux Kernel提供的mod_timer()是屬於一次性,而Timer時間則是使用jiffies計算,jiffies是一個Global變數,該變數用來紀錄時間的中斷次數(從開機後),可以搭配msecs_to_jiffies()計算出需要的時間間隔
使用步驟:
1. init_timer_key() 2. mod_timer() 3. del_timer()

init_module: 設定GPIO以及Timer,msecs_to_jiffies()設定的內容,司徒直接使用PERIOD常數設定
timer_handler: 閃爍LED之外,由於mod_timer()是屬於一次性,因此,只要再次設定就可以變成週期性Timer
cleanup_module: 刪除GPIO以及Timer資源
完成
