+1.3 ccwgroup devices
+--------------------
+
+The ccwgroup mechanism is designed to handle devices consisting of multiple ccw
+devices, like lcs or ctc.
+
+The ccw driver provides a 'group' attribute. Piping bus ids of ccw devices to
+this attributes creates a ccwgroup device consisting of these ccw devices (if
+possible). This ccwgroup device can be set online or offline just like a normal
+ccw device.
+
+To implement a ccwgroup driver, please refer to include/asm/ccwgroup.h. Keep in
+mind that most drivers will need to implement both a ccwgroup and a ccw driver
+(unless you have a meta ccw driver, like cu3088 for lcs and ctc).

+2. Channel paths
 -----------------
 
-Every channel path is represented under sys/ as channel_path<nr>. (Unfortunately,
-<nr> is in decimal, which may look unfamiliar.)
+Channel paths show up, like subchannels, under the channel subsystem root (css0)
+and are called 'chp<chpid>'. They have no driver and do not belong to any bus.
 
 status - Can be 'online', 'logically offline' or 'n/a'.
         Piping 'on' or 'off' sets the chpid logically online/offline.
