Subject: CONFIG_FW_LOADER: fix kconfig dependency warning on HOTPLUG
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix kconfig dependency warning for FW_LOADER.
Lots of drivers select FW_LOADER without bothering to depend on HOTPLUG
and/or without selecting HOTPLUG. A kernel builds fine when FW_LOADER is
enabled, whether HOTPLUG is enabled or not, and a kernel config file (make
oldconfig) is not changed by this patch. (Yes,
drivers/base/firmware_class.c uses interfaces from linux/kobject.h, which
does have some CONFIG_HOTPLUG dependencies, but this patch does not change
that.)
