Subject: HID: add USB_HID dependancy to hid-chicony
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d080811f27936f712f619f847389f403ac873b8f upstream.
The chicony HID driver only controls USB devices, yet did not have a
dependancy on USB_HID. This causes build errors on some configurations
like sparc when building due to new changes to the chicony driver.
