 	    Mediatek video codec driver provides HW capability to
-	    encode and decode in a range of video formats
-	    This driver rely on VPU driver to communicate with VPU.
+	    encode and decode in a range of video formats on MT8173
+	    and MT8183.
+
+	    Note that support for support for MT8173 requires
+	    VIDEO_MEDIATEK_VPU to also be selected. Support for
+	    MT8183 depends on MTK_SCP.
 
 	    To compile this driver as modules, choose M here: the
 	    modules will be called mtk-vcodec-dec and mtk-vcodec-enc.
