    This reverts commit a5bf3d89.
    
    David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
    drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:
    
      "That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
       worked that way for several years now ...  so the issue seems to be
       changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.
    
       The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
       configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ...  the
       controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.
    
       It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
       could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
       either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."
    
    Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
    problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.
