may I propose the following two patches?

01_menu-Kconfig-cleanups-08-usb-menu-indent-fix.patch
	Fix up indents in the USB Input menu

02_menu-Kconfig-cleanups-09-USB-vs-SCSI-fix.patch
	Fix SCSI dependency for USB-Storage support.
	- Rip out "select SCSI"
	- Make a comment when SCSI is not selected
