> inaccurate, leading to inconsistent results. This commit updates the wait
> behavior to use a timeout-based approach, enabling the wait for the exact
> number of timer ticks before proceeding.

> The new function timeout_event_dequeue mimics the behavior of the
> tested systems closely. It dequeues timer expiry events until either the
> expected number of events have been dequeued or the specified time has
> elapsed. The WAIT_TICKS macro defines the waiting behavior based on the
> type of timer being used (software or hardware).
