Subject: [PATCH 07/10] x86/Kconfig: add help text to CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 22:28:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220228212826.27080-8-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220228212826.27080-1-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl>

This configuration option had no help text, so add it.

CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled on some distribution kernels, so people using a
distribution kernel's configuration as a starting point will see this
option.

I would like someone to confirm that PCI Express is required for
MMCONFIG support.
