+ * Test case to verify timing accuracy during tickless idle mode
+ *
+ * This test verifies that FreeRTOS maintains accurate timing when the system
+ * enters and exits tickless idle mode, particularly when combined with scheduler
+ * suspension operations.
+ *
+ * Test Setup:
+ * - Configures the system to use tickless idle mode
+ * - Creates a producer-consumer pair using a semaphore:
+ *   * Producer gives semaphore every 5ms
+ *   * Consumer takes semaphore with 1-second timeout
+ * - Periodically suspend and resume the scheduler
+ *
+ * Expected Behavior:
+ * - The consumer should never timeout as the producer gives the semaphore
+ *   every 5ms, well within the 1-second timeout window
+ * - Any timing inaccuracies during tickless idle would manifest as
+ *   unexpected semaphore timeouts
+ * - The test passes if no timeouts occur.
