[PATCH v5 02/18] timer: Add comment to get_next_timer_interrupt() description

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Wed Mar 01 2023 - 09:18:12 EST


get_next_timer_interrupt() does more than simply getting the next timer
interrupt. The timer bases are forwarded and also marked as idle whenever
possible.

To get not confused, add a comment to function description.
