 ``bl31_plat_get_next_image_ep_info()`` function.
 
+.. note::
+   Some platforms that configure ``RESET_TO_BL31`` might still be able to
+   receive parameters in registers depending on their actual boot sequence. On
+   those occasions, and in addition to ``RESET_TO_BL31``, these platforms should
+   set ``RESET_TO_BL31_WITH_PARAMS`` to avoid the input registers from being
+   zeroed before entering BL31.
+
 Additionally, platform software is responsible for carrying out any security
 initialisation, for example programming a TrustZone address space controller.
 This might be done by the Trusted Boot Firmware or by platform code in BL31.
