Subject: [PATCH 1/2] include/uapi pps.h: increase PPS_MAX_SOURCES value
From: Charlie Johnston <charlie.johnston@...com>
For consistency with what others use for minors, this change sets
PPS_MAX_SOURCES to MINORMASK.
The PPS_MAX_SOURCES value is currently set to 16. In some cases this
was not sufficient for a system. For example, a system with multiple
(4+) PCIe cards each with 4 PTP-capable ethernet interfaces could run
out of the available PPS major:minors if each interface registers a
PPS source.
