Yes, reverting this seems to resolve the problem:

Reverting this patch also fixes a second problem that I didn't
mention: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

Again in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig, examples include the
ability to configure the Ethernet gadget to act as an RNDIS
peripheral; or enabling Mass Storage gadget debug options.


Good sleuthing, and thanks!

Now we just need to see that patch reverted before RC1... I don't
know how Linus deals with all his LKML mail, so I cc'd him in
the hope that direct messages get through a bit faster.
