30 * to assign your clocksource a rating
31 * 1-99: Unfit for real use
32 * Only available for bootup and testing purposes.
33 * 100-199: Base level usability.
34 * Functional for real use, but not desired.
35 * 200-299: Good.
36 * A correct and usable clocksource.
37 * 300-399: Desired.
38 * A reasonably fast and accurate clocksource.
39 * 400-499: Perfect
40 * The ideal clocksource. A must-use where
41 * available.
42 * @read: returns a cycle value
43 * @mask: bitmask for two's complement
44 * subtraction of non 64 bit counters
45 * @mult: cycle to nanosecond multiplier
46 * @shift: cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two)
47 * @update_callback: called when safe to alter clocksource values
48 * @is_continuous: defines if clocksource is free-running.
49 * @interval_cycles: Used internally by timekeeping core, please ignore.
