I could not see how to get GPSD to associate a kernel PPS source (our /dev/pps1 
is driven by the PPS-GPIO kernel module and does not come in through the serial 
port's DCD line) with a NMEA source.  Without a PPS signal coming into GPSD I 
didn't seem to get any data into chrony through the SOCK interface even though 
GPSD did see and successfully connect to it according to the GPSD debug output.

Thanks,
