Perhaps add sentences like these which are commonly seen in such
menuconfig variables:
This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.
There are obviously several already existing menuconfigs in the video section
which do not have these sentences; so maybe don't add the above, or add it
separately across the board, or whatever. I find these sentences helpful when
running "make oldconfig" or the likes.
