Ok, you have a problem fixed by this commit:
commit 03a7ffe4e542310838bac70ef85acc17536b6d7c

    pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling

I think this should go to stable-3.8 with its prerequisity:

commit 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101
Author: George Spelvin <linux@...izon.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 10 04:08:32 2013 -0500

    pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function

George?
