[PATCH 5.18 152/231] ARM: 9212/1: domain: Modify Kconfig help text

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2bf6204240fddb22cc4940b9e3f40c538390212e ]

After the removal of set_fs() the reference to set_fs() is stale.
Alter the helptext to reflect what the config option really does.

Fixes: 8ac6f5d7f84b ("ARM: 9113/1: uaccess: remove set_fs() implementation")
