My apologies for the delayed reply.

It turns out to be more subtle than that. The issue is that I have
"depends on USB_DEVICEFS = n" and then USB_DEVICEFS was removed.

"depends on FOO = n" is the only way I found that will succeed when in
verifying that FOO is neither enabled nor modular. "depends on !FOO"
appears to succeed when FOO = m which is not at all what I want.

After both trees are merged I will have to remove that
"depends on USB_DEVICEFS = n" dependency.

I can't see any possible way to do hand this before then.

Eric
