Having said that, I would really discourage this kind of cleanup,
and I was quite close to NACKing it. It doesn't fix a single checkpatch
issue in the affected Kconfig file, and that file currently reports 42
checkpatch warnings. Those would be more important issues to fix than
vertical help text alignments.

I won't apply this patch to my branch, and will leave it up to Wim to decide
what to do with it.
