When selecting "Prevent firmware from being built" under "Generic driver options" in "Device Drivers", and selecting HELP, it reads:

"Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped with the driver, and only when updating the firware a rebuild should be made"

Where it should say:

"Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped with the driver, and only when updating the firmware a rebuild should be made"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.make menuconfig
2.Navigate your way through to Device Drivers --> Generic Driver Options, select "Prevent firmware from being built" and choose <Help>
Actual Results:

It's an upstream problem - the typo is present in vanilla kernels. If you want this thing corrected, you should contact the maintainer of this part of the kernel sourcecode or the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List).
