From 4519a254e0170c5d9d0b1054f045ec1f436c6336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 08:22:33 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] xtensa: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to describe this configuration option. Update both to actually describe what this option does.
