From 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Spelvin Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 04:08:32 -0500 Subject: pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users.
