[PATCH v8 0/4] PPS: pps-gpio PPS ECHO implementation

From: Tom Burkart
Date: Sat Nov 17 2018 - 08:07:16 EST


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.

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 there is a need.

Please install, test and comment as it is now a quite major change to
the driver.
Please do send suggestions for improvement.

Tom Burkart
