Hi Simon,
I would like to ask if it would be clearer if I changed it to the following?

config RTASE
	tristate "Realtek Automotive Switch 9054/9068/9072/9075/9068/9071 PCIe Interface support"
	depends on PCI
	select CRC32
	select PAGE_POOL
	help
	  Say Y here and it will be compiled and linked with the kernel
	  if you have a Realtek Ethernet adapter belonging to the
	  following families:
	  RTL9054 5GBit Ethernet
	  RTL9068 5GBit Ethernet
	  RTL9072 5GBit Ethernet
	  RTL9075 5GBit Ethernet
	  RTL9068 5GBit Ethernet
	  RTL9071 5GBit Ethernet
 
	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
	  will be called rtase. This is recommended.
