 as RedBoot.
 
 The partition table should be a subnode of the mtd node and should be named
-'partitions'. Partitions are defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
+'partitions'. This node should have the following property:
+- compatible : (required) must be "fixed-partitions"
+Partitions are then defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
 
 For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the mtd device are
 supported. This use is discouraged.
