See the comment below where you define PPS_WIDTHBOTH.

I don't understand the meaning of this field... regarding assert and clear it
states the n-th sample but in this case...? Why do you need it?

Ditto.

Why do you need a new type? Since both assert_width and clear_width are time
quantities as far as assert_tu and clear_tu, they can be of the same type, can't
they? Or, at least they can simply be __u64 since having an assert_width or
clear_width longer than 1 second is a non-sense...

Altering this structure may break userspace code... also rfc2783 at section-3.2
states that:

The API defines these new data structures:

typedef struct {
pps_seq_t assert_sequence; /* assert event seq # */
pps_seq_t clear_sequence; /* clear event seq # */
pps_timeu_t assert_tu;
pps_timeu_t clear_tu;
int current_mode; /* current mode bits */
} pps_info_t;

So, I'm not willing to change this structure just to add this new data that I
don't even know where it's used...

If you just read these information via sysfs, please drop these part.

I don't understand why a process should ask for just PPS_WIDTHASSERT or
PPS_WIDTHCLEAR... I think you can avoid defining these values and just enabling
pulse width calculation when both assert and clear events are available.

However, the real point is: since an userpsace program can retrieve the time of
assert and clear events, why it cannot compute the pulses width by itself? :)
