I'd prefer more consistency in how we refer to OpenCAPI. "ocxl" is a 
driver name that we have purely for historical reasons, it's not really 
the name of anything else. I know throughout the various specs and code, 
we use "OCAPI" a lot, but that's not really an abbreviation that should 
be "user-facing".

Something like:

config OCXL
      tristate "OpenCAPI coherent accelerator support"
      help

        Select this option to enable the ocxl driver for Open Coherent 

        Accelerator Processor Interface (OpenCAPI) devices.

        OpenCAPI allows FPGA and ASIC accelerators to be coherently
        attached to a CPU over an OpenCAPI link.

        The ocxl driver enables userspace programs to access these
        accelerators through devices in /dev/ocxl/.

        For more information, see http://opencapi.org.
