Except for some minor wording on the comment, which I'll let you handle,

consider it as describing? (if it's an assumption that has been made)

consider if it describes? (if it's conditional)

I'm not sure I fully understand the intent of the sentence to correct it
- but it needs a little tweak. The use of the word 'consider' makes me
assume that it might not need a panel bridge, and some further decision
needs to be made, but the code looks like it assumes one port means
there should be a panel - and a bridge will be added.
