Help text

Select this option to enable support for Broadcom VK Accelerators. VK is used for performing multiple specific offload processing tasks in parallel. Such offload tasks assist in such operations as video transcoding, compression, and crypto tasks. This driver enables userspace programs to access these accelerators via /dev/bcm-vk.N devices.

If unsure, say N.
