I promise this will be the last time I say this here, but clearly
this is relevant to the OP situation.

gpsd is *not needed* to use a PPS source with Linux and chrony, and
that includes the Raspberry OS. Just add a line like this to
chrony.conf:

   refclock PPS /dev/pps0 refid PPS0

I do not know if other ntp implementations like ntpsec have something
similar, but I doubt it.
