Sonics Silicon Backplane support (SSB) [M/y/?] (NEW) n
Support for the Sonics Silicon Backplane bus.
You only need to enable this option, if you are
configuring a kernel for an embedded system with
this bus.
It will be auto-selected if needed in other
environments.
The module will be called ssb.
If unsure, say N.

I think this is OK -- it isn't really offering the choice to say
no anyway. You must have turned-on B44 or B43(LEGACY) already?
So, your choice is merely whether to have it built-in or as a module.

Ok, so the comment on being unsure is wrong as we can't say N as
suggested :-)

Oh well, if you think that it is OK, so be it, I found it confusing and
reported, you find it ok to suggest chosing 'N' when 'M' or 'y' are the
only possible answers.
Perhaps telling that N is not a possible answer when B44 or B43 was
previously selected could help, up to you.

Why? IMHO "If unsure..." are kind of defaults just to let you not read
or understand "the whole comment". But here even reading the whole
doesn't make this less amusing, because it suggests you still have the
choice (eg. to revert auto-selection).
