This patch implements the device tree changes required for the pps
echo functionality for pps-gpio, that sysfs claims is available
already.

This patch was originally written by Lukas Senger as part of a masters
thesis project and modified for inclusion into the linux kernel by Tom
Burkart.

 Optional properties:
 - assert-falling-edge: when present, assert is indicated by a falling edge
                        (instead of by a rising edge)
 - capture-clear: when present, also capture the PPS clear event
+- invert-pps-echo: when present, invert the PPS ECHO pulse

Why do you need this? Can't you just make the echo gpio GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW?

BTW, using the flag probably should have been done for
'assert-falling-edge' as well.

The hardware I use expects a positive-going echo pulse, however, it was really easy to give users the option to have it inverted in case they use different hardware that expects a negative-going edge.

I may well be needing this option myself if I find that the GPS I am using produces better results for negative-going edges than positive-going edges.
