Unless I misunderstood Roman, FW_LOADER should be no longer selected.
But if the dependencies of BT_HCIBFUSB were depends on BT && USB && FW_LOADER the dependency information was useless since the option itself isn't shown for FW_LOADER=n.
And even if the option was shown: How should an average sysadmin configuring his own kernel know where on earth the FW_LOADER option is he has to enable?
