Hi. At the bottom of the description of the patch set, i warn about the latencies and jitter. I did "real" test with a pps generated by a workstation (i haven't tested with a precise pps yet), so the the jitter don't mean anything. But the magnitude of difference between uart and usb pps is

[PATCH 0/5] Enable PPS reporting for USB serial devices

2013-09-09 Thread Paul Chavent
Hi. This series enable the PPS reporting for USB serial devices. Patch 01 : change the interface of handle_dcd_change for usb serial in order to avoid duplicating code when calling this function and to be closer of the uart handle_dcd_change interface. Patch 02 : this patch depends on the previo
