There are some issues here.

Again, the 8 nanosecounds shouldn't be hard coded.

Avoid IfOk.

Here you ignore the phase of the signal given in the trq->perout.start
field. That is not what the user expects. For periodic outputs where
the phase cannot be set, we really would need a new ioctl.

However, in this case, you should just drop this functionality. I
understand that this works with your adjustable external oscillator,
but we cannot support that in mainline (at least, not yet).

Thanks,
Richard
