DCB: fix kconfig option
Since the netlink option for DCB is necessary to actually be useful, simplified the Kconfig option. In addition, added useful help text for the Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This option turns on the netlink interface
|
||||
(dcbnl) for Data Center Bridging capable devices.
|
||||
This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB)
|
||||
features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y'
|
||||
if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this
|
||||
interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch.
|
||||
|
||||
DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB capable
|
||||
NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing
|
||||
requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low
|
||||
latency) to co-exist on Ethernet.
|
||||
|
||||
DCB features include:
|
||||
Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
|
||||
framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
|
||||
Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
|
||||
works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
|
||||
link (802.3x).
|
||||
|
||||
If unsure, say N.
