 2.1 CPUFreq policy notifiers
 ----------------------------
 
-These are notified when a new policy is intended to be set. Each
-CPUFreq policy notifier is called twice for a policy transition:
+These are notified when a new policy is created or removed.
 
-1.) During CPUFREQ_ADJUST all CPUFreq notifiers may change the limit if
-    they see a need for this - may it be thermal considerations or
-    hardware limitations.
-
-2.) And during CPUFREQ_NOTIFY all notifiers are informed of the new policy
-   - if two hardware drivers failed to agree on a new policy before this
-   stage, the incompatible hardware shall be shut down, and the user
-   informed of this.
-
-The phase is specified in the second argument to the notifier.
+The phase is specified in the second argument to the notifier.  The phase is
+CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY when the policy is first created and it is
+CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY when the policy is removed.
 
 The third argument, a void *pointer, points to a struct cpufreq_policy
 consisting of several values, including min, max (the lower and upper
