Indentation is wrong. It should be one tab for "help" and one tab + two
spaces for the help text.

In addition to that, I'm not sure the wording of the help text is so
useful. Something like "This option enables a graphics driver specific
to the graphics hardware of the Marvell PXA3xx processor family", would
be a bit more useful.

Same comments.
