npcm7xx_timer-test failing sporadically in CI

Hi,
The npcm7xx_timer test fails sometimes in QEMU's CI. Is it possible that
"clock_step" is stepping to some other deadline and not the
npcm7xx_timer device's deadline?

In tests/qtest/npcm7xx_timer-test.c:

  /* Verifies that a periodict timer fires an interrupt every time it expires. */
  static void test_periodic_interrupt(gconstpointer test_data)
  {
      const TestData *td = test_data;
      unsigned int count = 65535;
      unsigned int ps = 2;
      int i;
  
      tim_reset(td);
  
      tim_write_ticr(td, count);
      tim_write_tcsr(td, CEN | IE | MODE_PERIODIC | PRESCALE(ps));
  
      for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
          clock_step_next();
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  
          g_assert_cmphex(tim_read(td, TISR), ==, tim_timer_bit(td));
          g_assert_true(qtest_get_irq(global_qtest, tim_timer_irq(td)));

Here is the output from a test failure:
