Subject: USB: serial: invoke dcd_change ldisc's handler.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=833efc0ed19ce9ed7a84dfd3684eb9d892fe9ded;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

USB: serial: invoke dcd_change ldisc's handler.

The DCD pin of the serial port can receive a PPS signal. By calling
the port line discipline dcd handle, this patch allow to monitor PPS
through USB serial devices.

However the performance aren't as good as the uart drivers, so
document this point too.

+PPS with USB to serial devices
+------------------------------
+
+It is possible to grab the PPS from an USB to serial device. However,
+you should take into account the latencies and jitter introduced by
+the USB stack. Users has reported clock instability around +-1ms when
+synchronized with PPS through USB. This isn't suited for time server
+synchronization.
+
+If your device doesn't report PPS, you can check that the feature is
+supported by its driver. Most of the time, you only need to add a call
+to usb_serial_handle_dcd_change after checking the DCD status (see
+ch341 and pl2303 examples).
