Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86/Kconfig: tighten up wording of the CONFIG_X86_FRED help text
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:01:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325230151.1898287-3-hpa@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325230151.1898287-1-hpa@zytor.com>

The CONFIG_X86_FRED help text has both "try to" and "if the system
supports it", which are redundant statements.

Remove "try to".
