The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

This client driver allows you to use a GPIO pin as a source for PPS
signals. Platform data [1] are used to specify the GPIO pin number,
label, assert event edge type, and whether clear events are captured.
This driver is based on the work by Ricardo Martins who submitted an
initial implementation [2] of a PPS IRQ client driver to the linuxpps
mailing-list on Dec 3 2010.

Add parallel port PPS client. It uses a standard method for capturing
timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an
interrupt has happened.
This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt
handling delays. However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much
more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware
port until the transition is done.
Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error
should not exceed this value. This was my primary goal when developing
this client.
Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter.

Adds support, by using the PPS line discipline, for the PPS sources
connected with the CD (Carrier Detect) pin of a serial port.

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using
special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources'
attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism.
This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.
