[RFC PATCH] pps: Increase PPS_MAX_SOURCES value.

From: Charlie Johnston
Date: Mon Jun 05 2023 - 17:06:57 EST


For consistency with what ptp uses for minors, this
change sets PPS_MAX_SOURCES to MINORMASK + 1.

The PPS_MAX_SOURCES value is currently set to 16. In
some cases this was not sufficient for a system. For
example, a system with multiple (4+) PCIe cards each
with 4 PTP-capable ethernet interfaces could run out
of the available PPS major:minors if each interface
registers a PPS source.
