This patch has made it into linux-next today, and while I agree with
the basic idea, it seems to cause regressions for me.

For these ARM defconfigs, 'make' always asks about USB_GADGET now
after doing any of these defconfigs:

I'm taking Greg on Cc here so he's aware of the problem and knows it's
not caused by any of the USB Kconfig changes that I and others submitted
recently. It took me a while to confirm that it's just your patch and
not mine that caused the problem.
