 Attributes are only included in reply if their value is not zero or the
 corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params`` is set (i.e.
 they are declared as supported by driver).
 
+Timer reset mode (``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX`` and
+``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX``) controls the interaction between packet
+arrival and the various time based delay parameters. By default timers are
+expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a
+corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet
+arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt
+is delivered.
+Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where
+each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force
+the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet
+limit to trigger interrupts.
