 /*******************************************************************************
  *
  * FUNCTION:    acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake
  *
- * PARAMETERS:  gpe_device      - Parent GPE Device. NULL for GPE0/GPE1
- *              gpe_number      - GPE level within the GPE block
+ * PARAMETERS:  wake_device         - Device associated with the GPE (via _PRW)
+ *              gpe_device          - Parent GPE Device. NULL for GPE0/GPE1
+ *              gpe_number          - GPE level within the GPE block
  *
  * RETURN:      Status
  *
- * DESCRIPTION: Set the ACPI_GPE_CAN_WAKE flag for the given GPE.  If the GPE
- *              has a corresponding method and is currently enabled, disable it
- *              (GPEs with corresponding methods are enabled unconditionally
- *              during initialization, but GPEs that can wake up are expected
- *              to be initially disabled).
+ * DESCRIPTION: Mark a GPE as having the ability to wake the system. This
+ *              interface is intended to be used as the host executes the
+ *              _PRW methods (Power Resources for Wake) in the system tables.
+ *              Each _PRW appears under a Device Object (The wake_device), and
+ *              contains the info for the wake GPE associated with the
+ *              wake_device.
