 * struct posix_clock_operations - functional interface to the clock

 * first handled by the clock device layer, then passed on to the
 * driver by calling these functions.

 * @owner:          The clock driver should set to THIS_MODULE
 * @clock_adjtime:  Adjust the clock
 * @clock_gettime:  Read the current time
 * @clock_getres:   Get the clock resolution
 * @clock_settime:  Set the current time value
 * @open:           Optional character device open method
 * @release:        Optional character device release method
 * @ioctl:          Optional character device ioctl method
 * @read:           Optional character device read method
