Its unclear that precompield BLE Mesh 2.0.1 demo does not run on nf52840 develboard

Hello

For the BLE Mesh 2.0.1 demo i bought some nrf52840 develboards. Then i write the demo with "python scripts/quick_start/quick_start_demo.py" to the nrf52840 develboard and the demo do nothing. After some look around i realized that the demo is prepared only for nrf52832 boards..

For me thats no problem but for someone who is new to Nordic ...

I follow this page, and "Compatibility" say that nf52840 is ok.
   http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v2.0.1%2Findex.html
And the light switch demo does not restrict to nrf52832 for the precompiled demo
  infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

But look at BLE Mesh 1.0, see the restriction to the nrf52832 board 
(One PCA10028 or PCA10040 development board for the client.....)

Please add the restriction to the documentation. Maybe in the next Mesh SDK add a second script for nrf52840 develboards.

Thanks,
Lukas
