The generic HID driver is obviously not a special driver, so move it outside of the special drivers menu. Explain the usage and make the default follow the HID setting. This should simplify migration from older kernels. Reported-by: Jan Beulich <redacted> Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <redacted> --- Hi Jiri, As pointed out by Jan Beulich, the generic hid driver Kconfig option is confusing. This patch ought to fix most of the concerns. For 3.5. Thanks, Henrik drivers/hid/Kconfig | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
