usb: get rid of 'choice' for legacy gadget drivers
drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig creates a 'choice' inside another 'choice'. The outer choice: line 17 "USB Gadget precomposed configurations" The inner choice: line 484 "EHCI Debug Device mode" I wondered why the whole legacy gadget drivers reside in such a big choice block. This dates back to 2003, "[PATCH] USB: fix for multiple definition of `usb_gadget_get_string'". [1] At that time, the global function, usb_gadget_get_string(), was linked into multiple drivers. That was why only one driver was able to become built-in at the same time. Later, commit a84d9e5361bc ("usb: gadget: start with libcomposite") moved usb_gadget_get_string() to a separate module, libcomposite.ko instead of including usbstring.c from multiple modules. More and more refactoring was done, and after commit 1bcce939478f ("usb: gadget: multi: convert to new interface of f_mass_storage"), you can link multiple gadget drivers into vmlinux without causing multiple definition error. This is the only user of the nested choice structure ever. Removing this mess will make some Kconfig cleanups possible.
