Sure, will add some example/description.

Actually I don't have strong opinion here. I don't know much sysfs files which
take strings as arguments, thus started with numeric values. And from
'consistency' perspective it is much more common to use numeric enum values.
But, as I said, I could change it, just not sure if that is actually better.
Any other opinions?
