Yeah I think just remove it, it's not a well known term and is unlikely to help anyone these days. It stands for "RISC Platform Architecture", which was some kind of specification for Power machines back in the day, but from what I can tell it was never used in marketing or manuals much (hence so few hits on Google). > Is there some text expansion of RPA that we could use that would be > meaningful to a user, i.e., something he/she might find on a nameplate > or in a user manual?

PowerNV is not a marketing name and so doesn't appear anywhere much in official manuals or brochures and it's also used on non-IBM branded machines. And pSeries & iSeries were marketing names but are no longer used. We should probably update that text, but we can do that later, rather than blocking this patch. > diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig b/drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig > index e9f78eb390d2..1c1d145bfd84 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig > +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig > @@ -112,7 +112,7 @@ config HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC > When in doubt, say N. > > config HOTPLUG_PCI_POWERNV > - tristate "PowerPC PowerNV PCI Hotplug driver" > + tristate "IBM PowerNV PCI Hotplug driver" This is used in non-IBM machines as well.
