This file is already in a good shape: just its title and
adding some literal block markups is needed for it to be
part of the document.
While it has a small chapter with sysfs stuff, most of
the document is focused on driver development.
As it describes a kernel API, move it to the driver-api
directory.
In order to avoid conflicts, let's add an :orphan: tag
to it, to be removed when added to the driver-api book.

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

Even though the jitter due to USB1.1 may be 1ms,
NTP can reduce its effect significantly. And
USB2.0 reduces this anyway.

No semantic changes. The next patch in this series will
do the actual changes to sync with NTP current
best practices

timepps.h , as well as PPS sample test utilities, are
no longer in the kernel tree. Update documentation
to point to new locations.

The DCD pin of the serial port can receive a PPS signal. By calling
the port line discipline dcd handle, this patch allow to monitor PPS
through USB serial devices.
However the performance aren't as good as the uart drivers, so
document this point too.

Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
send PPS signals. It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
precisely control the signal.

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".
PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.
Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.
To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.
