[PATCH] USB config selection for RNDIS devices

[PATCH] USB config selection for RNDIS devices

[Ingo van Lil]

Hi there,

the USB configuration selection code in drivers/usb/core/generic.c will
refuse to use an RNDIS-only device if the RNDIS driver is compiled as a
module. The straightforward solution would be to change the #ifndef test
to include CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST_MODULE as well, but I'd rather
suggest to drop the entire check instead. That way the RNDIS-case will
be treated just like a vendor-specific configuration: It will be chosen
only if no better choice (e.g. CDC) can be found.

Cheers,
Ingo
