Documentation specifies BCM2711 in sections about eeprom and boot flow

As far as I know, Raspberry Pi 5 uses BCM2712 chip, not BCM2711. I found in many places that the official document (https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html) specified BCM2711, which makes a confusion about whether Raspberry Pi 5, which uses BCM2712 chip, also applied.
Actually I want to make sure if Raspberry Pi 5 has the same mechanism as rpi4 that we can always recover eeprom to the clean official verson even if it got corrupted, because of failure update, or even got infected.
But in the doc, it specified BCM2711 and so makes this unclear:
The title is "Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 Boot Flow", but in the content, it specified BCM2711 on the line : BCM2711 SoC powers up.
