Ah, right, I see. But that patch has it's own set of problems, as pointed out by the test robot: All the USBNET based minidrivers (as well as the USB_USBNET infrastructure itself) are protected by menuconfig USB_NET_DRIVERS tristate "USB Network Adapters" default USB if USB depends on USB && NET if USB_NET_DRIVERS .. but USB_ACM and USB_WDM don't have similar protection. So you'll have to make them select NET and USB_NET_DRIVERS too. Selecting NET is going to be messy. It already selects 3 other symbols, which you'll have to add as well. And I have a feeling that the list of NET dependencies might grow, which probably explains why there currently are no "select NET"'s in the kernel. So "select NET" is most likely out of the question. And I don't think we want to make USB_ACM or USB_WDM depend on NET either. It will not make sense to anyone attempting to select these drivers, resulting in infinite confusion. So we might need to move cdc_parse_cdc_header() out of usbnet.c after all. Keeping it there creates an unnecessary "select" mess. But I don't know where to put it... Either a common CDC helper module or the USB core I guess. Sorry for not bringing this up earlier. I know you asked specifically about this. I obviously didn't think it thoroughly through before.
