ieee1394: more help in Kconfig
- s/Device Drivers/Controllers/ - clarify who needs pcilynx - don't recommend Y for raw1394; M is typically used Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

- Say Y here if you want support for the raw device. This is generally
- a good idea, so you should say Y here. The raw device enables
- direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and
- thus with the attached peripherals.
+ This option adds support for the raw1394 device file which enables
