I'd be more precise, like: ADB devices are usually input devices (mice
and keyboards) connected via a 4 pin daisy chained bus. All Apple
laptops also use ADB internally for the built-in keyboar & trackpad.

I just moved the old help text, I didn't modify it.

Now, for Cuda and PMU, as long as you let them be selected even
without CONFIG_ADB, it's fine.

That's what I did...

BTW, why do some of these conflict with POWER4? Can't you build a generic
kernel that runs on both PowerMac and POWER4?
