yes, but it seems to be more common to use a style like so:
config xxx
help
normal help text
To compile this driver as module, choose M here: the
module will be called gpio-pwm.

it just means the pwm framework needs to be constified in the core code first :)

hmm, i thought the configfs integration did more than just call the
create/destroy funcs. considering the common gpio code has sysfs
hooks for playing with gpios from userspace, perhaps there should be a
sysfs hook here too rather than requiring configfs ...
