    HID: make full-fledged hid-bus drivers properly selectable · 2dbf209d
    Jiri Kosina authored
    For historical reasons, we don't have most of the in-tree
    drivers residing on hid-bus properly selectable in kernel
    configuration unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is set.
    
    This has been introduced on Linus' request from 14 Oct

    As to the Kconfig options - do they really add so much space that you need to
    ask for the quirks? You didn't use to. Can you make the questions depend on
    EMBEDDED, or at least on the HID_COMPAT thing or whatever?
    ===
    
    This still makes perfect sense for small and tiny drivers, which
    just fix report descriptors, fix up HID->input mappings that slightly
    violates HUT standard, send one extra packet to the device that is
    needed before it becomes functional, etc.
    
    Since then, we have been gathering more and more HID-bus drivers,
    which are full-fledged drivers. For these, the size argument becomes
    more valid. Plus the devices are much more special than "just violates
    HID specification in this one or two tiny unimportant points".
    
    Therefore I am marking such drivers as properly selectable no matter
    the setting of CONFIG_EMBEDDED, while keeping all the small and tiny
    ones compiled by default.
