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