[PATCH] clocksource: Make the int help prompt unit readable in ncurses

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sun Apr 28 2024 - 06:21:55 EST


From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

When doing

make menuconfig

and searching for the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US config item, the
help says:

│ Symbol: CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US [=125]
│ Type : integer
│ Range : [50 1000]
│ Defined at kernel/time/Kconfig:204
│ Prompt: Clocksource watchdog maximum allowable skew (in s)
^^^^^

│ Depends on: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS [=y] && CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG [=y]

because on some terminals, it cannot display the 'μ' char, unicode
number 0x3bc.

So simply write it out so that there's no trouble.
