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.
