From 69e4d94818cabf44d845b9f4b46d88de6e518dcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 23:03:14 +0100 Subject: HID: fix help texts in Kconfig The help text for CONFIG_HID might imply for someone that it's necessary to enable it for any keyboard or mouse attached to the system. This is obviously not correct, so fix it to avoid confusing the users.
