Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hwmon (occ): Add more details to Kconfig help text
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 15:43:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555429430-23118-3-git-send-email-eajames@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1555429430-23118-1-git-send-email-eajames@linux.ibm.com>
From: Eddie James <eajames@us.ibm.com>
The help text needs to spell out how the driver runs on a BMC, as it
previously seemed to indicate it ran on a POWER processor.
