It's possible that there's something wrong with the timer configuration.
However, you won't find it out very easily with diag_printf, because it
probably takes longer than 10ms to execute.

I don't know what hardware you're using, but most evaluation boards have
utility LEDs or output port pins. Instead of outputting a message, toggle a
port pin and look at it with a scope or a frequency counter.
