/*
* Tables translating between page_cache_type_t and pte encoding.
*
- * Minimal supported modes are defined statically, they are modified
- * during bootup if more supported cache modes are available.
+ * The default values are defined statically as minimal supported mode;
+ * WC and WT fall back to UC-. pat_init() updates these values to support
+ * more cache modes, WC and WT, when it is safe to do so. See pat_init()
+ * for the details. Note, __early_ioremap() used during early boot-time
+ * takes pgprot_t (pte encoding) and does not use these tables.
*
* Index into __cachemode2pte_tbl[] is the cachemode.
