From b2a37fb2b54fd46bfa799268717f558d9e168376 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 08:22:30 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] sh: 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.
