Ivo, please explain what rt2x00 module(s) you want to be built. In
English
if possible, not in Kconfig language...

There are 3 kind of rt2x00 modules:
	rt2x00lib
	rt2x00pci/usb
	rt2x00 driver (rt2400pci, rt2500pci, rt61pci, rt2500usb, rt73usb)

When the user selects any of the rt2x00 drivers, the rt2x00pci/usb and rt2x00lib
are selected. For rt2x00lib there are some additional configuration options like
RT2X00_LIB_RFKILL and RT2X00_LIB_LEDS which will build into rt2x00lib.

This means that when rt2400pci is selected as module, rt2x00pci and rt2x00lib
must be built as modules as well and when rt2400pci is selected as buildin
rt2x00pci and rt2x00lib must be buildin as well.

But with the optional rt2x00lib configuration options the breakage you reported
is possible. So we either need:
	1) Force rt2x00lib / driver to be compiled as module when RFKILL/LEDS were
	    compiled as module
	2) Disable config option when invalid config combination is found

Personally I would favor 1), because 2) could lead to confusion to users
who think they selected everything they needed to enable support for it in
rt2x00.

Find attached a patch that implements option 2, along with adding a
warning to the user when rfkill support in rt2x00 is disabled due to the
invalid config combination. I've looked at implementing option 1, but
couldn't find a way to do it without disabling the entire rt2x00 module
when rfkill wasn't available.

I guess we can live with this option for now, until we have figured out
how to do option 1.

Sounds good, but please change RT2X00 in RT2X00_LIB

	default y if (RT2X00=y&&  RFKILL=y) || (RT2X00=m&&  RFKILL!=n)

Could you also do a similar thing for the LED handling?
That way we can fix the entire thing with a single patch. :)

Here is an updated patch. This required some more surgery to the Kconfig file, as symbols had to be moved in the file.
This patch fixes the build issues for both rfkill and leds support.

Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix build errors due to modularized rfkill or leds and built-in rt2x00.

Fix by disabling rt2x00 rfkill support when rt2x00 is built-in and rfkill has been modularized, and
a similar scheme for the relationship between leds_class and rt2x00..
Also, give a warning to the end-user when rfkill-/leds-support is disabled this way, so that the
end-user has at least some clues on what is going on.

Proper fixing required some general updates of the Kconfig-structure for the rt2x00 driver, whereby
internal configuration symbols had to be moved to after the user-visible configuration symbols.
