The previous text confused users by not describing the very common
(e.g. x86 PC) sitations where no PHY driver is necessary.

        help
-         USB controllers (those which are host, device or DRD) need a
-         device to handle the physical layer signalling, commonly called
-         a PHY.
+         Most USB controllers have the physical layer signalling part
+         (commonly called a PHY) built in.  However, dual-role devices
+         (a.k.a. USB on-the-go) which support being USB master or slave
+         with the same connector often use an external PHY.
 
-         The following drivers add support for such PHY devices.
+         The drivers in this submenu add support for such PHY devices.
+         They are not needed for standard master-only (or the vast
+         majority of slave-only) USB interfaces.
+
+         If you're not sure if this applies to you, it probably doesn't;
+         say N here.
