 Altera SOCFPGA SoC DWMAC controller
 
-The device node has following properties.
+This is a variant of the dwmac/stmmac driver an inherits all descriptions
+present in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/stmmac.txt.
+
+The device node has additional properties:
 
 Required properties:
- - compatible	: Should contain "altr,socfpga-stmmac"
+ - compatible	: Should contain "altr,socfpga-stmmac" along with
+		  "snps,dwmac" and any applicable more detailed
+		  designware version numbers documented in stmmac.txt
  - altr,sysmgr-syscon : Should be the phandle to the system manager node that
    encompasses the glue register, and the register offset.
 
-Sub-nodes:
-The dwmac core should be added as subnode to SOCFPGA dwmac glue.
-- dwmac :	The binding details of dwmac can be found in
-  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/stmmac.txt
