   I'm just wondering if we shouldn't change the terminology related to RTC in the NRF52 family.
   
   Nordic uses the term `RTC` to refer to a `Real Time Counter`, but industry standard refers to the RTC as `Real-Time Clock`.
   They are different peripherals with different uses.
   Names like `nrf52_rtc.c` or `nrf52_rtc_lowerhalf.c` are a bit confusing if we have some experience with other architectures.
   
   We probably should change all RTC-related names to RTCTIM or something similar, so that it is immediately known that we're referring to a timer instance not a clock instance.
    
   Of course, this is a topic for a separate PR, but I'm curious what do you think about it?
