4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit f3bb23764fac042d189129d485d3a9246cb777da upstream. This avoids a harmless randconfig warning I get when USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET is enabled, but all of the more specific drivers are not: drivers/net/usb/cdc_subset.c:241:2: #warning You need to configure some hardware for this driver The current behavior is clearly intentional, giving a warning when a user picks a configuration that won't do anything good. The only reason for even addressing this is that I'm getting close to eliminating all 'randconfig' warnings on ARM, and this came up a couple of times. My workaround is to not even build the module when none of the configurations are enable. Alternatively we could simply remove the #warning (nothing wrong for compile-testing), turn it into a runtime warning, or change the Kconfig options into a menu to hide CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET.
