This patch changes the help text for the following options:
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL
CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL
CONFIG_HP_SDC
I hope it's an improvement.
Help for CONFIG_HIL_MLC is still missing, though.

In general yes.
Normally, Helge Deller deals with the HIL and related patches.
I just had one question.

Is HIL also used on HP m68k workstations as well?
The ones that predate "snakes" workstations. eg HP 425.

Apparently, some of our input changes came from that port, aiui.

The INPUT_HIL_OLD driver seems to support HP300s, so I think it should
depend on ( PARISC || HP300 ). None of the other drivers do AFAICS, so
I'll just state this in the text.
Maybe the new HIL drivers could be ported to the HP300, but I don't have
one to test.
