Subject: [PATCH RESEND] drivers: staging: vme_user: Describe VME_BUS and VME_TSI148
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2023 14:51:55 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231121075155.16078-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)
Help description for both options only tells users to enable them
without description of what VME bridge and TSI148 device are.
Briefly describe them.

This is a wording alternative to Dorine's patch [1]. The wording is
inspired by [2] and [3].
