the "freq" field is not present, the frequency is assumed to be
1000000000 (providing clock increment of 1 ns). The optional "precision"
field details the uncertainty on the clock measurements, in (1/freq)
-units. The "offset" field indicates the offset from Jan 01 1970 to the
-zero of value of the clock, in (1/freq) units. If the "offset" field is
-not present, it is assigned the 0 value.

Secondly, a reference to this clock should be added within an integer
type:
