+Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
+used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
+but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
+sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
+between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
+limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
+to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
+Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are
+measured difference between modes. Axes are not remapped in selftest mode.
+Measurement values are provided to help HW diagnostic applications to make
+final decision.
 
 On HP laptops, if the led infrastructure is activated, support for a led
 indicating disk protection will be provided as /sys/class/leds/hp::hddprotect.
