which should be replaced with:

#include <linux/kconfig.h>

#if IS_ENABLED(LEDS_CLASS)

Please read the patch description.  CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=m but CONFIG_HID_STEELSEREIS=y.
A builtin driver cannot make calls to a modular driver if the modular driver
is not loaded.  Is there a way to require that the modular driver is loaded
for hid-steelseries?  Maybe so, but I don't know.

It prevents the driver from being built.  I think that a satisfactory solution
would be this small change:

	depends on LEDS_CLASS || LEDS_CLASS=n

That makes HID_STEELSERIES depend on LEDS_CLASS when it is enabled but still
allows the driver to build when LEDS_CLASS=n.  Makes sense?



Oh, and please don't top-post.

Thanks.
