/*
* ledtrig-cpu.c - LED trigger based on CPU activity
*
- * This LED trigger will be registered for each possible CPU and named as
- * cpu0, cpu1, cpu2, cpu3, etc.
+ * This LED trigger will be registered for first 8 CPUs and named
+ * as cpu0..cpu7. There's additional trigger called cpu that
+ * is on when any CPU is active.
+ *
+ * If you want support for arbitrary number of CPUs, make it one trigger,
+ * with additional sysfs file selecting which CPU to watch.
*
* It can be bound to any LED just like other triggers using either a
* board file or via sysfs interface.
*
* An API named ledtrig_cpu is exported for any user, who want to add CPU
- * activity indication in their code
+ * activity indication in their code.
