I didn't merge it into 2.6.36 and it's looking doubtful for 2.6.37. There were a number of issues identified during review and afaik they remain up in the air. My notes-to-self from the series file: pps-trivial-fixes.patch pps-declare-variables-where-they-are-used-in-switch.patch #pps-fix-race-in-pps_fetch-handler.patch: Vitezslav Samel q, TBU pps-fix-race-in-pps_fetch-handler.patch pps-unify-timestamp-gathering.patch #pps-access-pps-device-by-direct-pointer.patch: Rodolfo issues pps-access-pps-device-by-direct-pointer.patch pps-convert-printk-pr_-to-dev_.patch pps-move-idr-stuff-to-ppsc.patch pps-add-async-pps-event-handler.patch pps-add-async-pps-event-handler-fix.patch pps-dont-disable-interrupts-when-using-spin-locks.patch pps-use-bug_on-for-kernel-api-safety-checks.patch pps-simplify-conditions-a-bit.patch ntp-add-hardpps-implementation.patch #pps-capture-monotonic_raw-timestamps-as-well.patch: John had Q, TBU pps-capture-monotonic_raw-timestamps-as-well.patch pps-add-kernel-consumer-support.patch pps-add-parallel-port-pps-client.patch pps-add-parallel-port-pps-signal-generator.patch (where TBU = "to be updated"). There may be other issues - one would need to go back and review the review thread.
