 The array can be an arbitrary set of GPIOs. The functions will try to access
 The functions take three arguments:
        * array_size    - the number of array elements
        * desc_array    - an array of GPIO descriptors
+       * array_info    - optional information obtained from gpiod_array_get()
        * value_bitmap  - a bitmap to store the GPIOs' values (get) or
                          a bitmap of values to assign to the GPIOs (set)

 It is also possible to access a completely arbitrary array of descriptors. The
 descriptors may be obtained using any combination of gpiod_get() and
 gpiod_get_array(). Afterwards the array of descriptors has to be setup
-manually before it can be passed to one of the above functions.
+manually before it can be passed to one of the above functions.  In that case,
+array_info should be set to NULL.
 
 Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
 contiguous within the array of descriptors.
