Public bug reported: [Impact]
Backported to bionic/linux commit f83baa0cb6cf ("HID: add hid_is_usb() function to make it simpler for USB detection") brings to HID_ASUS usage of hid_is_usb() which is provided by USB_HID. If HID_ASUS is built as module but USB_HID is not, the kernel build will fail (like linux-azure) did: ERROR: "usb_hid_driver" [drivers/hid/hid-asus.ko] undefined! [Fix] Because of backport of commit commit f83baa0cb6cf ("HID: add hid_is_usb() function to make it simpler for USB detection"), the bionic/linux needs also backport of commit c4f0126d487f ("HID: asus: Add depends on USB_HID to HID_ASUS Kconfig option"). [Test Plan] Build HID_ASUS as module with or without USB_HID. [Where problems could occur] It's a new KConfig dependency, so configs using HID_ASUS without USB_HID will loose HID_ASUS. This is expected, so no problems should occur. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bionic ** Tags added: bionic ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + [Impact] + Backported to bionic/linux commit f83baa0cb6cf ("HID: add hid_is_usb() function to make it simpler for USB detection") brings to HID_ASUS usage of hid_is_usb() which is provided by USB_HID.
