Is there a way to do that ? declaring a new time provider from a PV ? I’ve tried to test to declare a new time provider without any success until then, if you have example it’s welcome.

The mrfioc2 driver can be configured to act as a clock provider
to a local ntpd instance.  This gives a much lower jitter time
reference to the NTP daemon.

See section 7 "NTPD Time Source" in:
