Indentation is wrong. It should be one tab for "help" and one tab + two
spaces for the help text.

In addition to that, I'm not sure the wording of the help text is so
useful. Something like "This option enables a graphics driver specific
to the graphics hardware of the Marvell PXA3xx processor family", would
be a bit more useful.

Same comments.

Hmm, I have to check my vim settings, sorry.
What about modlines in thees files? This would be helpful and it's just
a one-liner on top of this files.

It have take some times for me to find out what this option is for and
what kind of devices are supported by this option, so at least directfb
is something for the frame buffer the most people know the options are
of course depending on this frame buffer and graphic output related things.
So I think it's worth to explain a little bit more than just 'it's for
the Marvel PXA family foo ...'. But yes, we can discuss about the word
and formulation. ;)
I will rethink about that.

Carsten

I don't have a very strong opinion about this, but vim would require
one modeline, Emacs would require another one, some other $editor would
require yet a different one.

I guess it's rather up to your editor to understand that Config.in
should be treated with such or such mode.

My only problem with your wording is that it was just the copy/paste
describing what the processor is. The reader may not necessarily see
the relation with the configuration option. So just keep your text, but
at the beginning at a sentence like "This option enables a graphics
driver blablabla".
