FWIW, there is a polling version of the GPIO PPS driver, which avoids
the interrupt latency with a busy loop and which might be useful for
measuring the latency. It will make the system clock more accurate,
but it might have a negative impact on the accuracy of the NTP server
as the PPS interrupt latency compensates the NIC interrupt latency
(when the NIC driver is not polling). In my tests with a RPi 3B+ the
RX timestamping error was about 20us larger than the TX error.

The driver is here: https://github.com/mlichvar/pps-gpio-poll

Getting it to work with the Raspbian kernel might be tricky. IIRC I
didn't work for me the last time I tried. I prefer OpenWrt on these
small computers.
