         The <filename>kernel-fitimage</filename> class provides support to
-        pack zImages.
+        pack a kernel Image, device trees and a RAM disk into a single
+        FIT image. In theory, a FIT image can support any number of kernels,
+        RAM disks and device-trees.
+        However, <filename>kernel-fitimage</filename> currently only supports
+        limited usescases: just one kernel image, an optional RAM disk, and
+        any number of device tree.
