Oof. That's embarrassing. Sorry, I'll fix this for v8.

While I'm at it, is the help text required for choice configs?
checkpatch --strict complains with a warning without them, but
I see other places in the tree where help text is omitted for
these configs attached to a choice.

Documentation/process/* doesn't seem to have any guidance, nor
Documentation/kbuild/* on whether it is safe to ignore that
checkpatch warning.
