The WaitForTick() function waits for the number of ticks specified by
TickNumber from a known time source in the platform. If TickNumber of
ticks are detected, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. The actual time passed
between entry of this function and the first tick is between 0 and
TickPeriod 100 nS units. If you want to guarantee that at least TickPeriod
time has elapsed, wait for two ticks. This function waits for a hardware
event to determine when a tick occurs. It is possible for interrupt
processing, or exception processing to interrupt the execution of the
WaitForTick() function. Depending on the hardware source for the ticks, it
is possible for a tick to be missed. This function cannot guarantee that
ticks will not be missed. If a timeout occurs waiting for the specified
number of ticks, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.
@param This The EFI_METRONOME_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance.
@param TickNumber Number of ticks to wait.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The wait for the number of ticks specified by TickNumber
succeeded.
@retval EFI_TIMEOUT A timeout occurred waiting for the specified number of ticks.
