Hehe, well I think people complained about my "UNKNOWN" enum. But, in
the end this version is trying to make it clear we shouldn't have any
unknown states remaining.

AFAIK, it shouldn't be possible to actually run the sysfs code before
this gets initialized. So, the comment is just making it clear/forcing
the understanding of that.
