Hi Fengguang,

What kernel tree does this apply to? Reading through the code again
and testing your configuration, I cannot reproduce the
problem. Indeed, in my tree, USB_HID does not depend on HID.

For completeness, here are all the HID-related options in your attached file:

# CONFIG_BT_HIDP is not set
# HID support
CONFIG_HID=m
# CONFIG_HIDRAW is not set
# CONFIG_UHID is not set
# USB HID support
# CONFIG_USB_HID is not set
CONFIG_HID_PID=y
# USB HID Boot Protocol drivers
# Special HID drivers
CONFIG_HID_GENERIC=m
# USB HID support
# USB HID Boot Protocol drivers
CONFIG_USB_G_HID=m

Thanks,
Henrik
