Subject: [PATCH] Fix Micrel KSZ8842 Kconfig description

Hi,

when doing a "make oldconfig" recently, non-descriptive item "Micrel KSZ8842"
came up, and when I hit "?" to get more info, all I got was a tight-lipped
"This platform driver is for Micrel KSZ8842 chip.".
I don't need to know whether this is a platform driver or not, I want to
know _what_ the h*ll this thing does, to quickly decide
(and then get on with handling the other 150 upcoming config items)
whether the machine I'm running oldconfig on might actually have this
particular metal-pinned beast soldered somewhere or not.

Thanks,

Andreas Mohr
