[PATCH v3 5/7] x86/Kconfig: Document CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
From: David Heidelberg via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Mar 21 2025 - 16:51:31 EST
From: Mateusz Jończyk <mat.jonczyk@xxxxx>
This configuration option had no help text, so add it.
CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled on some distribution kernels, so people using a
distribution kernel's configuration as a starting point will see this
option.

+ help
+ Add support for accessing the PCI configuration space as a memory
+ mapped area. It is the recommended method if the system supports
+ this (it must have PCI Express and ACPI for it to be available).
+
+ In the unlikely case that enabling this configuration option causes
+ problems, the mechanism can be switched off with the 'pci=nommconf'
+ command line parameter.
+
+ Say 'n' only if you are sure that your platform does not support this
+ access method or you have problems caused by it.
+
+ Say 'y' otherwise.
