Sorry for the slow response on this, just wanted to let you know that
work on this is finally underway.  The big interrupt infrastructure
changes I was waiting for were committed a few days ago.  I started
writing the pps driver and ran into some more "we have no way to do
this" problems which we're building even more new infrastructure for
now. :)

I have no firm ETA, but I did get enough of a proof-of-concept hacked
together yesterday that I was able to get pps input working on a gpio
pin on a wandboard (and that work will generalize to any of the arm
boards that use FDT data pretty quickly), so it shouldn't be much
longer.
