    ???

    So you are told me that if my PPS source is connected with a single
    CPU GPIO I have to add a new driver to the kernel? I have to choose a
    proper major/minor numbers for just one PIN? =:-o

    But not PPS one. In several embedded systems the GPS antenna is
    connected with the serial port and the PPS source, which cames from
    the __same__ GPS antenna, is connected with a GPIO.

    How I should manage such case? Which fildes I should use? Also
    consider that NTPD currently manage only one filedes which should
    support both GPS antenna's data and PPS source. My patch can solve
    this problem.

    Ciao,
