I agree with Matthew. You can't do anything useful with the
functionality in drivers/pci/slot.o unless you have sysfs, so a
Kconfig dependency is more appropriate.

From: Alex Chiang <achiang@...com>

PCI: drivers/pci/slot.c should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS

There is no way to interact with a physical PCI slot without
sysfs, so encode the dependency and prevent this build error:

	drivers/pci/slot.c: In function 'pci_hp_create_module_link':
	drivers/pci/slot.c:327: error: 'module_kset' undeclared
