SubjectRe: [2.5 patch] let USB_GADGET depend on USB

This is wrong.

CONFIG_USB has always represented the master/host side ... while
CONFIG_USB_GADGET represents just the slave/gadget side.

The two are completely independent. Hardware that supports
one will typically _not_ support the other. And systems
that support the slave/gadget side will have no use at all
for the 100KB+ of "usbcore".


If you want CONFIG_USB_GADGET to depend on USB, then you're
going to need to change the meaning of CONFIG_USB so that it
becomes just an "umbrella" ... and change EVERYTHING that
currently depends on CONFIG_USB to depend on some new config
varaible representing just the host side (which also depends
on CONFIG_USB). That sort of change seems pointless.
