[PATCH v10 0/4] PPS: pps-gpio PPS ECHO implementation

[Tom Burkart]

Hi all,
please find attached the PPS-GPIO PPS ECHO implementation patch. The
driver claims to have echo functionality in the sysfs interface but this
functionality is not present.  This patch provides this functionality.

Parts 1 and 2 of the patch change the original driver from the number
based GPIO ABI to the descriptor based ABI.

Parts 3 and 4 then add the PPS ECHO functionality.  This is enabled if a
"echo-gpios" entry is found in the devicetree.

Changes in v8:
Changes requested by Rob Herring and Philipp Zabel:
DT explanation and don't change the DT entry for the PPS gpio.

Changes in v9:
Simplify "if" expression by doing echo_active_ms validation earlier.

Changes in v10:
Changes requested by Philipp Zabel:
Mostly cosmetic changes: PATCH 2/4 now reviewed.  Thanks a lot, Philipp!

On the linuxpps mailing list it was suggested to use a hrtimer for
resetting the GPIO ECHO active state to the inactive state.
Please also comment on whether a hrtimer is necessary/desirable for the
purpose of resetting the echo pin active state.  I am happy to implement
it if this is useful/desirable.

Please install, test and comment as it is now a quite major change to
the driver.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
