I stand corrected.  I do see UBX-TIM-TP:

Class: TIM(0xd) ID: TP(0x1), len: 0x10
tow:1519310.000000000 qErr:-0.000000048400 ps, week:2002
  flags:0xa refInfo:0x0
      is GPS, UTC available

Which says the next PPS is going to be -48.4 nano seconds out.  Similar
to the 52 nano seconds quantization error of a RasPi 3B.

Here is another one, -101 nano seconds out:

Class: TIM(0xd) ID: TP(0x1), len: 0x10
 tow:1522360.000000000 qErr:-0.000000101900 ps, week:2002
   flags:0xa refInfo:0x0 
      is GPS, UTC available

That is more than double my quantizaation error!

Now, how to I tell the Linux kernel to apply that correction?
