add
	--ignore=CONFIG_DESCRIPTION
or
	--min-conf-desc-length=1 (default is 4)

to the checkpatch command line, or just ignore it.

AK: I guess there's still some debate as to the proper
minimum length of a Kconfig help section paragraph.

    checkpatch: add check for too short Kconfig descriptions
    
    I've seen various new Kconfigs with rather unhelpful one liner
    descriptions.  Add a Kconfig warning for a minimum length of the Kconfig
    help section.
    
    Right now I arbitarily chose 4. The exact value can be debated.
