[PATCH] arm64: ARM Scalable Matrix Extension is ARMv9-A

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon May 09 2022 - 09:41:21 EST


The help text for the config option to enable support for the ARM
Scalable Matrix Extension does not mention the specification baseline
for this extension. Make it clear this is an extension for the ARMv9-A
architecture, so users know when it is safe to disable this option,
which is enabled by default.

Fixes: a1f4ccd25cc25625 ("arm64/sme: Provide Kconfig for SME")
