I'm afraid this patch is filled with errors.

Which is the reason why I stated this was a RFC, I did not meant to get it good for everything from the first try.


For one thing, it doesn't appreciate the difference between host-side
USB and device-side USB.  CONFIG_USB describes support for the
host-side part of the stack, whereas CONFIG_USB_GADGET describes
support for the device-side (or gadget-side) part.  This means you must
not make things like drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig dependent on
CONFIG_USB.

Ok.


For another, the patch doesn't understand the difference between && and
||.  As an example, putting chipidea/Kconfig inside "if USB" and then
doing this:

--- a/drivers/usb/chipidea/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/usb/chipidea/Kconfig
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
  config USB_CHIPIDEA
  	tristate "ChipIdea Highspeed Dual Role Controller"
-	depends on USB || USB_GADGET
+	depends on USB_GADGET
  	help
  	  Say Y here if your system has a dual role high speed USB
  	  controller based on ChipIdea silicon IP. Currently, only the

effectively changes the || to an &&.  This is not what we want.

You need to be a lot more careful about the distinction between hosts
and gadgets.  The situation becomes even more complicated when you
realize that some of the code applies to Dual-Role Devices, which can
be either hosts or gadgets (this includes OTG).  In addition, there are
a few things (such as gadget/dummy_hcd.c) which require _both_
host-side and device-side support.

Ok, thanks for the hint, I will address these issues.
