If you remove these functions you can't be sure anymore that nobodies
may call pps_event() over a non existent device...

By dropping pps_get_source you may be here by a call from (i.e.) a
serial port driver whose doesn't know if your PPS source is gone or
not...
I don't understand how your modifications may resolve this problem.
