         Generates a `load = <...>` property with the load address of the
         segment
 
+        Note: The load address comes from the ELF file's program header or
+        linker script. To determine where an ELF file will be loaded, you can:
+
+        1. Use readelf to examine the program headers:
+           ``readelf -l your_elf_file.elf``
+           Look for the LOAD segments and their VirtAddr (Virtual Address)
+
+        2. Check the linker script (.lds file) used to build the ELF:
+           Look for the `. = <address>;` statements which set the location
+           counter and determine load addresses for different sections
+
+        3. Use objdump to see section addresses:
+           ``objdump -h your_elf_file.elf``
+
+        For example, in binman tests, elf_sections.lds sets ATF load address
+        to 0x00000010, while elf_sections_tee.lds sets TEE load address to
+        0x00100010 to avoid memory overlap conflicts.
