`rte_event_timer_adapter_start`, Octeontx TIMvf ring does the
following:
- Uses mbox to communicate TIMpf driver about,
* SCLK frequency used to convert ns<->cycles.
* program the ring control parameters and start the ring.
* get the exact cycle at which the TIMvf ring has started which can be
used to estimate the bucket position.
On `rte_event_timer_adapter_stop` i.e stop, Octeontx TIMvf ring does the
following:
- Use mbox to communicate TIMpf driver about,
* reset the ring control parameters and stop the ring.
