firmware: cleanup FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL message
The help for FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL still references the firmware_install command that was recently removed by commit5620a0d1aa
("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware"). Clean up the message to direct the user to their distribution's linux-firmware package, and remove any reference to firmware being included in the kernel source tree. Fixes:5620a0d1aa

The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
|
||||
that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
|
||||
use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after
|
||||
converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed
|
||||
binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so
|
||||
that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
|
||||
Various drivers in the kernel source tree may require firmware,
|
||||
which is generally available in your distribution's linux-firmware
|
||||
package.
|
||||
|
||||
The linux-firmware package should install firmware into
|
||||
/lib/firmware/ on your system, so they can be loaded by userspace
|
||||
helpers on request.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
|
||||
into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
|
||||
them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
|
||||
useful if your root file system requires a device that uses
|
||||
such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd.

device that uses such firmware and you do not wish to use an

|

This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for

every driver that uses request_firmware() and ships its

firmware in the kernel source tree, which avoids a
