[PATCH 4/4 v2] serial: SH_SCI: improve "DMA support" prompt
Posted by Randy Dunlap 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Having a prompt of "DMA support" suddenly appear during a
"make oldconfig" can be confusing. Add a little helpful text to
the prompt message.

Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
