[LinuxPPS] PPS echo implemantation

[tom burkart]

Hi all,
an update:

Lukas is happy to help with this project but he is quite busy.

In the meantime, I am doing some of the experimenting as well as  
gathering missing bits for his patch.

I now have a running kernel on a Raspberry PI (4.14.68) with the  
appropriate overlay.  At this point in time I am concentrating on  
getting this to work properly.
I had been doing similar work and have now sent away to have my  
circuit board redone which includes Lukas' changes.

I am also interested in all comments on the patch (especially Rodolfo's).
See below.

I am not sure that I have seen these comments.  Were they posted to the list?

Not quite that simple as we may well be on our own as far as the  
parallel port implementation is concerned (I have not checked it at  
all, yet).  I also have no hardware to test this.
