mmotm has several various build failures when
HID=y and USB=n
or
HID=y and USB_HID=m.

These are (mostly) caused by drivers/hid/Kconfig doing lots of "select"s
when EMBEDDED=n, such as

config HID
	tristate "Generic HID support"
	depends on INPUT
	default y
        select HID_A4TECH if !EMBEDDED
        select HID_APPLE if !EMBEDDED
        select HID_BELKIN if !EMBEDDED
        select HID_BRIGHT if !EMBEDDED

and HID_BRIGHT (just to pick one of them) says:

config HID_BRIGHT
	tristate "Bright"
	default m
	depends on USB_HID

but that "depends on USB_HID" isn't being "honored" because "select"
doesn't honor (or care) about dependencies.

I think that you already know about this, but drivers/hid/Kconfig
does need fixing.
