The PR #597 introduced a new config option configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS
which can be defined to one of the following:
* TICK_TYPE_WIDTH_16_BITS - Tick type is 16 bit wide.
* TICK_TYPE_WIDTH_32_BITS - Tick type is 32 bit wide.
* TICK_TYPE_WIDTH_64_BITS - Tick type is 64 bit wide.
Earlier we supported 16 and 32 bit width for tick type which was
controlled using the config option configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS. The PR
tried to maintain backward compatibility by honoring
configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS. The backward compatibility did not work as
expected though, as the macro configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS was used
before it was defined. This PR addresses it by ensuring that the macro
configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS is defined before it is used.
Testing
1. configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS is defined to 0.
It is clear from assembly that the tick type is 32 bit.
5. configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS is defined to TICK_TYPE_WIDTH_64_BITS.
```
#error configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS set to unsupported tick type width.
```
The testing was done for GCC/ARM_CM3 port which does not support 64 bit
tick type.
6. Neither configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS nor configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS
defined.
```
#error Missing definition: One of configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS and
configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS must be defined in FreeRTOSConfig.h.
See the Configuration section of the FreeRTOS API documentation for
details.
```
7. Both configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS and configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS defined.
```
#error Only one of configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS and
configTICK_TYPE_WIDTH_IN_BITS must be defined in FreeRTOSConfig.h.
See the Configuration section of the FreeRTOS API documentation for
details.
