Since the issue is more about kbuild dependencies than USB specifically I brought it up here. The driver already landed in the USB tree but was reverted due to this issue, I'm stuck on this problem and really don't want the driver to die on the finish line. A workaround could be to make the driver 'bool' rather than 'tristate', but I'm not sure if that would be acceptable. > but probably 'depends on USB_XHCI_PLATFORM' should be used everywhere instead of > 'depends on USB_XHCI_PLATFORM'. Did you mean 'select USB_XHCI_PLATFORM' rather than 'depends on USB_XHCI_PLATFORM'? In general that sounds reasonable, since the drivers don't actually depend on USB_XHCI_PLATFORM from a build perspective, and it's what some drivers actually do. However it doesn't fix the problem, apparently a 'select X' from CONFIG_Y still results in CONFIG_X being 'y' if CONFIG_Y is 'y' (see the USB_DWC3 case above).
