  * This QoS design is best effort based. Dependents register their QoS needs.
  * Watchers register to keep track of the current QoS needs of the system.
+ * Watchers can register different types of notification callbacks:
+ *  . a per-device notification callback using the dev_pm_qos_*_notifier API.
+ *    The notification chain data is stored in the per-device constraint
+ *    data struct.
+ *  . a system-wide notification callback using the dev_pm_qos_*_global_notifier
+ *    API. The notification chain data is stored in a static variable.

  * Note about the per-device constraint data struct allocation:
