[PATCH 2/2] dell-smm-hwmon: rewrite CONFIG_I8K description

From: Mateusz Jończyk
Date: Mon Feb 07 2022 - 13:41:32 EST


It is not the laptops, but the /proc/i8k interface that is legacy. The
old description was confusing, fix this.

I'm not a native English speaker, so I'd like that someone proofread
this description.
