  33  * Every posix clock is represented by a character device. Drivers may
  34  * optionally offer extended capabilities by implementing the
  35  * character device methods. The character device file operations are
  36  * first handled by the clock device layer, then passed on to the
  37  * driver by calling these functions.
  38  *
  39  * @owner:          The clock driver should set to THIS_MODULE
  40  * @clock_adjtime:  Adjust the clock
  41  * @clock_gettime:  Read the current time
  42  * @clock_getres:   Get the clock resolution
  43  * @clock_settime:  Set the current time value
  44  * @timer_create:   Create a new timer
  45  * @timer_delete:   Remove a previously created timer
  46  * @timer_gettime:  Get remaining time and interval of a timer
  47  * @timer_setttime: Set a timer's initial expiration and interval
  48  * @fasync:         Optional character device fasync method
  49  * @mmap:           Optional character device mmap method
  50  * @open:           Optional character device open method
  51  * @release:        Optional character device release method
