1PPS (One Pulse Per Second) is a signal generated either by the NIC PHC or an external timing source. Integrating the support to configure and use 1PPS using the TSIO pins along with PTP timestamps will add Grand Master capability to the 5750X family chipsets. This patch initializes the driver data structures and registers the 1PPS with kernel, based on the TSIO pins' capability in the hardware. This will create a /dev/ppsX device which applications can use to receive PPS events. Later patches will define functions to configure and use the pins.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
