-	  Support for BCM3384 based boards.  BCM3384/BCM33843 is a cable modem
-	  chipset with a Linux application processor that is often used to
-	  provide Samba services, a CUPS print server, and/or advanced routing
-	  features.
+	  Build a generic DT-based kernel image that boots on select
+	  BCM33xx cable modem chips, BCM63xx DSL chips, and BCM7xxx set-top
+	  box chips.  Note that CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN/CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
+	  must be set appropriately for your board.
