The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead. This converts the pps class code to use the
correct field.

Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it
(in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy).
Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles.
A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device
entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then
the deallocation ordering becomes simpler.
But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that
for later.

The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty
without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer.
Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low
(n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list
of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup,
so the timing isn't affected.)
It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel
PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not
something that affects users.

To avoid name conflicts:
drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c:281:9: sparse: preprocessor token MAX_LEVEL redefined
While at it, also make the other names more consistent and add
parentheses.

We should return PTR_ERR if the call to the device_create function fails.
Without this patch we instead return the value from a successful call to
cdev_add if the call to device_create fails.

Now pps_idr_lock is never used in interrupt context so we can replace
spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq with plain spin_lock/spin_unlock. But
there is also a potential race condition when someone can steal an id
which was allocated by idr_pre_get before it is used. So convert spin
lock to mutex and protect the whole id generation process.

Since now idr is only used to manage char device id's and not used in
kernel API anymore it should be moved to pps.c. This also makes it
possible to release id only at actual device freeing so nobody can
register a pps device with the same id while our device is not freed yet.

Since we now have direct pointers to struct pps_device everywhere it's
easy to use dev_* functions to print messages instead of plain printks.
Where dev_* cannot be used printks are converted to pr_*.

Using device index as a pointer needs some unnecessary work to be done
every time the pointer is needed (in irq handler for example). Using a
direct pointer is much more easy (and safe as well).

There was a race in PPS_FETCH ioctl handler when several processes want to
obtain PPS data simultaneously using sleeping PPS_FETCH. They all sleep
most of the time in the system call.
With the old approach when the first process waiting on the pps queue is
waken up it makes new system call right away and zeroes pps->go. So other
processes continue to sleep. This is a clear race condition because of
the global 'go' variable.
With the new approach pps->last_ev holds some value increasing at each PPS
event. PPS_FETCH ioctl handler saves current value to the local variable
at the very beginning so it can safely check that there is a new event by
just comparing both variables.

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.
