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.
