OK so I've done this on config.mk:

ifneq ($(CONFIG_USB),)
ifneq ($(CONFIG_LIBERTAS_THINFIRM_USB),m)
CONFIG_LIBERTAS_USB=m
NEED_LIBERTAS=y
endif
endif

This means you'll get CONFIG_LIBERTAS_USB unless your kernel
already was built with CONFIG_LIBERTAS_THINFIRM_USB for all those
building with it. If your kernel was built with both then its your
problem.
