pps: generators: Add PPS Generator TIO Driver

The Intel Timed IO PPS generator driver outputs a PPS signal using
dedicated hardware that is more accurate than software actuated PPS.
The Timed IO hardware generates output events using the ART timer.
The ART timer period varies based on platform type, but is less than 100
nanoseconds for all current platforms. Timed IO output accuracy is
within 1 ART period.

PPS output is enabled by writing '1' the 'enable' sysfs attribute. The
driver uses hrtimers to schedule a wake-up 10 ms before each event
(edge) target time. At wakeup, the driver converts the target time in
terms of CLOCK_REALTIME to ART trigger time and writes this to the Timed
IO hardware. The Timed IO hardware generates an event precisely at the
requested system time without software involvement.

drivers pps: add PPS generators support

Sometimes one needs to be able not only to catch PPS signals but to
produce them also. For example, running a distributed simulation,
which requires computers' clock to be synchronized very tightly.

This patch adds PPS generators class in order to have a well-defined
interface for these devices.

pps: use cflags-y instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS

Commit f77bf01425b1 ("kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and
ldflags-y") deprecates use of EXTRA_CFLAGS in the kernel build.

This has been cleaned up in the whole kernel tree long ago, but this one
single place must have been missed.

Replace the EXTRA_CFLAGS use by the common pattern for such debug flags.
No functional change.
