From 86b525bed2758878e788c9fb6b8fb281fd61bdb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rodolfo Giometti Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2024 08:31:12 +0100 Subject: drivers pps: add PPS generators support Sometimes one needs to be able not only to catch PPS signals but to produce them also. For example, running a distributed simulation, which requires computers' clock to be synchronized very tightly. This patch adds PPS generators class in order to have a well-defined interface for these devices.
