@@ -901,6 +901,17 @@ some older ThinkPad models, it is possible to query the status of the
LED indicators as well. Newer ThinkPads cannot query the real status
of the LED indicators.
+Because misuse of the LEDs could induce an unaware user to perform
+dangerous actions (like undocking or ejecting a bay device while the
+buses are still active), or mask an important alarm (such as a nearly
+empty battery, or a broken battery), access to most LEDs is
+restricted.
+
+Unrestricted access to all LEDs requires that thinkpad-acpi be
+compiled with the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_UNSAFE_LEDS option enabled.
+Distributions must never enable this option. Individual users that
+are aware of the consequences are welcome to enabling it.

+ 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.
