41  * @clock_adjtime:  Adjust the clock
42  * @clock_gettime:  Read the current time
43  * @clock_getres:   Get the clock resolution
44  * @clock_settime:  Set the current time value
45  * @open:           Optional character device open method
46  * @release:        Optional character device release method

48  * @read:           Optional character device read method
49  * @poll:           Optional character device poll method
