Subject: [PATCH] Obsolete config in kernel source (USB_HCD_DMA)

Hi all!

	As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

	Similar to the config Option USB_HCD_STAT there's another
Zombi called USB_HCD_DMA only present in
./drivers/usb/host/isp1362-hcd.c The attached patch would just drop
the unreachable parts if you agree that's the correct solution.

	Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

	Christoph Egger
