scripts/checkpatch.pl throws this warning:
WARNING: please write a paragraph that describes the config symbol fully

IMST has multiple products related to "WiMOD":
* WiMOD iC880A
* WiMOD module iM871A
* WSA01-iM880B - WiMOD Shield for Arduino
* iM880B-L - Long Range Radio Module

And IMST is not very consistent about what is called "WiMOD". So this
leaves me clueless concerning what this Kconfig option is about. Please,
provide a description.

There are dozens of warnings given by scripts/checkpatch. Please, have a
look at them.

Best regards
