[PATCH v5 1/1] pps: generators: pps_gen_parport: Switch to use module_parport_driver()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Switch to use module_parport_driver() to reduce boilerplate code.

Note, it doesn't matter when we check the module parameter. If it was
writable we even would have more flexibility of changing it at runtime
(when built-in the kernel) after this patch.

v5: extended commit message to describe parameter change, based on v1 discussion (Greg)
v4: made sure the proper version is taken into consideration
v3: added Ack (Rodolfo), Cc'ed to Greg for picking it up
