This may be a bit of a dumb question but is there an opposite function / macro to pdMS_TO_TICKS() that converts a number of ticks to millseconds or seconds?

If pdMS_TO_TICKS() is defined as:

#define pdMS_TO_TICKS( xTimeInMs ) ( ( xTimeInMs * configTICK_RATE_HZ ) / 1000 )

the oppositve would be like:

#define pdTICKS_TO_MS( xTicks )    ( ( xTicks * 1000 ) / configTICK_RATE_HZ )

Or with some proper casts:

#define pdTICKS_TO_MS( xTicks )    ( ( ( TickType_t ) ( xTicks ) * 1000u ) / configTICK_RATE_HZ )
