Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] hwmon (occ): Add more details to Kconfig help text
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 15:54:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555430068-23439-1-git-send-email-eajames@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

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.

Changes since v1: fix Signed-off-by; git config got mixed up.
