Hmm, did Linus reject privately? I didn't see anything on linux-kernel.

Well, OK. This will get really ugly when adbhid.c gets added with one of the 
next PPC merges and and drivers/usb has to be entered for 
CONFIG_ADB/CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID too. Well, if that's the final word for 
2.4.0... Can we schedule the move for 2.4.1 then?

Who will send the joystick Makefile/Config.in patch to Linus? Please send it 
ASAP, I'll do the hackery for CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID after that then.

Franz.
