+ help
+ This driver provides an MCTP-over-serial interface, through a
+ serial line-discipline, as defined by DMTF specification "DSP0253 -
+ MCTP Serial Transport Binding". By attaching the ldisc to a serial
+ device, we get a new net device to transport MCTP packets.
+
+ This allows communication with external MCTP endpoints which use
+ serial as their transport. It can also be used as an easy way to
+ provide MCTP connectivity between virtual machines, by forwarding
+ data between simple virtual serial devices.
+
+ Say y here if you need to connect to MCTP endpoints over serial. To
+ compile as a module, use m; the module will be called mctp-serial.
