ab4f526058 drivers/pps: use surrounding "if PPS" to remove numerous dependency checks
Adding high-level "if PPS" makes lower-level dependency tests superfluous.

98e959d44b drivers: pps: Make PPS into a menuconfig to ease disabling
So that there's no need to get into the submenu to disable all related config
entries.

The BROKEN PPS_GENERATOR_PARPORT now also depends on PPS

95b90afec3 pps: make pps_gen_parport depend on BROKEN
This driver causes hard lockups, when the active clock soure is jiffies.

The reason is that it loops with interrupts disabled waiting for a
timestamp to be reached by polling getnstimeofday().  Though with a
jiffies clocksource, when that code runs on the same CPU which is
responsible for updating jiffies, then we loop in circles for ever
simply because the timer interrupt cannot update jiffies.  So both UP
and SMP can be affected.

There is no easy fix for that problem so make it depend on BROKEN for
now.

563558b2c7 pps: add parallel port PPS signal generator
Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
send PPS signals.  It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
precisely control the signal.
