          These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
          area within the first NAND device.
 
-       - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
+       - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
 
          This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
          size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
          so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
          power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
 
+       - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
+
+         Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
+         can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
+         block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
+         are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
+         the range to be avoided.
+
+       - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
+
+         Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
+         environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
+         "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
+         Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
+         using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
+
        Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
-       to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
-       the NAND devices block size.
+       to an erase block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple
+       of the NAND device's page size.
