Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] net/mlx5: Bridge, correct config option description

From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@...dia.com>

The implication of the previous help text was that without this option
enabled, representor devices couldn't be added to a bridge device, while
in fact that was possible, just that rules didn't get offloaded to hw.

This commit clarifies the help text.
