@@ -4,6 +4,9 @@ The objective of this test is to control the synchronization of features
 provided by boards via `Makefile.features` and `Kconfig` files during the
 migration process.
 
+It also checks that multiple common variables (e.g. CPU_MODEL) have the same
+value in the Makefiles and in Kconfig.
+
 The test checks during compilation that both lists of features provided by
 the board match. The `BOARD_WHITELIST` is used to test only the boards that have
 their features modelled in Kconfig.
