+	  Overriding LED state on ThinkPads can mask important
+	  firmware alerts (like critical battery condition), or misled
+	  the user into damaging the hardware (undocking or ejecting
+	  the bay while buses are still active), etc.
+
+	  LED control on the ThinkPad is write-only (with very few
+	  exceptions on very ancient models), which makes it
+	  impossible to know beforehand if important information will
+	  be lost when one changes LED state.
+
+	  Users that know what they are doing can enable this option
+	  and the driver will allow control of every LED, including
+	  the ones on the dock stations.
+
+	  Never enable this option on a distribution kernel.
+
+	  Say N here, unless you are building a kernel for your own
+	  use, and need to control the important firmware LEDs.
