If you are using a "modern" distro (with devtmpfs and a modern udev implementation), a bind mounting is actually not needed because you can mount devtmpfs anyway. The only reason for bind mounting is to be compatible with old host distros where /dev is a directory containing many static device nodes, or is a tmpfs (not same as devtmpfs) popluated by bootscript or an old udev (modern udev implementations, including eudev and systemd-udev used by LFS, strictly requires a devtmpfs on /dev). So update the explanation to match the status quo.
