The USB PCI quirks code gets built into the kernel whenever CONFIG_PCI is enabled, even if CONFIG_USB is not set. This can cause unnecessary messages to show up in the kernel log, such as "CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD is turned off, defaulting to EHCI" (which makes no sense when the kernel has been configured without host-side USB support). This patch addresses the problem by building pci-quirks.o only when CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_USB are both enabled. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@xxxxxx> --- Ver. 2: My earlier approach, removing the dependency from CONFIG_PCI to drivers/usb/host/, doesn't work when CONFIG_PCI=y and CONFIG_USB=m. This is because pci-quirks.o will not be available to be linked into the kernel image, since nothing will cause "make" to descend into the host/ directory when building the main kernel.
