+	  Enable MMC framework tinification support. This option is useful if
+	  if your SPL is extremely size constrained. Heed the warning, enable
+	  this option if and only if you know exactly what you are doing, if
+	  you are reading this help text, you most likely have no idea :-)

+	  The MMC framework is reduced to bare minimum to be useful. No malloc
+	  support is needed for the MMC framework operation with this option
+	  enabled. The framework supports exactly one MMC device and exactly
+	  one MMC driver. The MMC driver can be adjusted to avoid any malloc
+	  operations too, which can remove the need for malloc support in SPL
+	  and thus further reduce footprint.
