Alexander Gordeev 4f542e3dd9 pps: claim parallel port exclusively
Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they
can't share a port with any other driver.  This can result in locking up
the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules
are compiled in.  Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.

Alexander Gordeev a10203c691 pps: add parallel port PPS client
Add parallel port PPS client.  It uses a standard method for capturing
timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an
interrupt has happened.

This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt
handling delays.  However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much
more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware
port until the transition is done.

Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error
should not exceed this value.  This was my primary goal when developing
this client.

Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter.

Alexander Gordeev 12f9b1f9c1 pps: timestamp is always passed to dcd_change()
Remove the code that gatheres timestamp in pps_tty_dcd_change() in case
passed ts parameter is NULL because it never happens in the current code.
Fix comments as well.

Alexander Gordeev 7f7cce7410 pps: convert printk/pr_* to dev_*
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_*.

Alexander Gordeev 5e196d34a7 pps: access pps device by direct pointer
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).

Add a helper function to gather timestamps.  This way clients don't have
to duplicate it.

Rodolfo Giometti a0880df0cc pps: serial clients support
Adds support, by using the PPS line discipline, for the PPS sources
connected with the CD (Carrier Detect) pin of a serial port.

Rodolfo Giometti 697fb85fcf pps: LinuxPPS clients support
Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using
special modules called "clients".  They simply define the PPS sources'
attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism.

This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.
