The current help text is short and triggers a

details to the help text which should provide better information

No tab? Didn't checkpatch complain about this when you ran it on this
patch?

+ This driver facilitates communication between the Linux kernel and the Realtek
+ PCI-E card reader.
- If this driver is compiled as a module, it will be named rts5208.
+ If you opt to compile this driver as a module, it will be named rts5208. Selecting

Wrap your lines properly here at 80 columns.

Checkpatch is not pointing out any issues when I run it:

/scripts/checkpatch.pl /tmp/0001-staging-rts5208-Add-more-details-to-Kconfig-help.pat
ch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 14 lines checked

/tmp/0001-staging-rts5208-Add-more-details-to-Kconfig-help.patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.

Does this indicate I need to set a configuration specifically for the checkpatch?
