The description does not explain why it only documents Armada XP, so it
just duplicates what is in "compatible" part of bindings. How is the
confusion removed by saying "we document currently only Armada XP"? What
changes?

The entire description (with first paragraph) might make it a derivative
work, so I would need Ack or SoB from author to relicense it (Cc: Thomas
Petazzoni).
