20  *
21  * Every posix clock is represented by a character device. Drivers may

23  * character device methods. The character device file operations are
24  * first handled by the clock device layer, then passed on to the
25  * driver by calling these functions.
26  *
27  * @owner:          The clock driver should set to THIS_MODULE
28  * @clock_adjtime:  Adjust the clock
29  * @clock_gettime:  Read the current time
30  * @clock_getres:   Get the clock resolution
31  * @clock_settime:  Set the current time value
32  * @open:           Optional character device open method
33  * @release:        Optional character device release method
34  * @ioctl:          Optional character device ioctl method
35  * @read:           Optional character device read method
36  * @poll:           Optional character device poll method
