Well, that assumes you do have a serial port available that even has
these signals connected.

You've lost me.  Are you talking about something that exists and only
has not supporting DT overlay or are you talkning about some
hypothetical driver?

I think it would be way easier to just use the SHM interface and do all
the setup in some separate daemon or program and leave ntpd to just deal
with the measurement results.  But maybe I don't understand what you're
after.
