Sorry if I gave the wrong impression -- I don't have an MP3 player. I was talking about just the player in the bugzilla report and my USB keyboard. Each of them has only one configuration. But that doesn't mean the tests can be skipped. Even when there is only one config, if it violates the power constraints then the kernel shouldn't install it. The device should be left unconfigured by default. The alternative actually could cause loss of data (overloading a power supply and causing some kind of crash).
