The struct k_clock contains callback functions to clock source
specific implementations of the syscalls and other functions.
Adding a new clock source that is (potentially) implemented
as a module means you have to define a new k_clock in that module
that you register using register_posix_clock.

If you need additional syscalls to be implemented by the same
module, you can put more callback functions into struct k_clock
that would then only be implemented by the new module.

Hmm, right. I wonder what I was thinking of then.

You can certainly do

config PTP
bool "IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol"
depends on PPS != m

but that will hide the PTP option if PPS is set to 'm', which is normally
not what you want.
