may I propose the following two patches?
01_menu-Kconfig-cleanups-08-usb-menu-indent-fix.patch
Fix up indents in the USB Input menu
02_menu-Kconfig-cleanups-09-USB-vs-SCSI-fix.patch
Fix SCSI dependency for USB-Storage support.
- Rip out "select SCSI"
- Make a comment when SCSI is not selected
ciao, Marc
