  * the RP1 driver to load the RP1 dtb overlay at runtime, while
  * bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dts (this file) is the fully defined one (i.e. it
  * already contains RP1 node, so no overlay is loaded nor needed).
- * This file is not intended to be modified, nodes should be added
- * to the included bcm2712-rpi-5-b-ovl-rp1.dts.
+ * This file is intended to host the override nodes for the RP1 peripherals,
+ * e.g. to declare the phy of the ethernet interface or the custom pin setup
+ * for several RP1 peripherals.
+ * This in turn is due to the fact that there's no current generic
+ * infrastructure to reference nodes (i.e. the nodes in rp1-common.dtsi) that
+ * are not yet defined in the DT since they are loaded at runtime via overlay.
+ * All other nodes that do not have anything to do with RP1 should be added
+ * to the included bcm2712-rpi-5-b-ovl-rp1.dts instead.
