I think you should swap these two lines because after you release the
lock the pps pointer may be not valid...

Maybe this lock is useless... however, are we sure that before setting
tty->disc_data to pps its value is null? Otherwise the dcd_change may
be called with an oops! We cannot control serial port IRQ
generation... :-/

Are you sure this code style is «canonical»? What does checkpatch say?
;)
> + pps_unregister_source(pps);
If the above function fails I suppose you should invalidate
tty->disc_data, then unregister the pps source and, in the end, return
error (I know old code returns 0 anywhere, but I think it can be fixed
right now! ;).

I suppose you can solve all your problems if you do the lock into
pps_tty_init...
