No.

Yes, it's the input core code, but without a separate directory or 
main_menu entry :-(. That means that currently on PPC people have to select 
CONFIG_USB even if they just want to have the input core code for 
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID. Since Alan rejected the creation of drivers/input in 
2.2 for unknown (?) reasons, I suggest to add a 2nd main_menu in 
usb/Config.in for CONFIG_INPUT items. Then adjust drivers/Makefile in a way 
that drivers/usb is entered if CONFIG_USB is unset but CONFIG_INPUT is set.

Don't these input drivers _require_ the USB HID driver core to work
properly?  

Or am I mistaken, and this is the 2.4.0 input core code, but
not in a separate directory, like 2.4.0 has it?

Why do the input handlers depend on CONFIG_USB_HID? On PPC we already have 
trouble with them depending on CONFIG_USB, so everybody has to select 
CONFIG_USB even if he just has ADB hardware.

Alan, would you accept a patch putting 2 main_menu's for CONFIG_USB and 
CONFIG_INPUT into usb/Config.in? This avoids the move of the input drivers 
into drivers/input as in 2.4 (which you seemingly don't want in 2.2) and 
only requires a minor adjustment in drivers/Makefile.

Franz.
