[PATCH v2] PPS: Aesthetic tweaks to PPS-related content
From: Robert P. J. Day
Date: Sat Aug 26 2017 - 10:50:16 EST
Collection of aesthetic adjustments to various PPS-related files,
directories and Documentation, some quite minor just for the sake of
consistency, including:
* Updated example of pps device tree node (courtesy Rodolfo G.)
* "PPS-API" -> "PPS API"
* "pps_source_info_s" -> "pps_source_info"
* "ktimer driver" -> "pps-ktimer driver"
* "ppstest /dev/pps0" -> "ppstest /dev/pps1" to match example
* Add missing PPS-related entries to MAINTAINERS file
* Other trivialities

sorry, forgot to add subsystem "PPS" to patch subject line
any other changes worth throwing in?
