[PATCH] ADB_PMU_LED_IDE selects LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK which has unmet direct dependencies

Hi,

for quite some time the following is printed (twice) after doing
"make oldconfig":

[...]
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
warning: (ADB_PMU_LED_IDE) selects LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK which has unmet direct dependencies (NEW_LEDS && IDE_GD_ATA && LEDS_TRIGGERS)
warning: (ADB_PMU_LED_IDE) selects LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK which has unmet direct dependencies (NEW_LEDS && IDE_GD_ATA && LEDS_TRIGGERS)

I never got around to look into this. But I remember that (when I still 
had CONFIG_IDE selected, because CONFIG_PATA_MACIO was not working for my 
PowerBook G5), I always had ADB_PMU_LED_IDE selected, so this option was 
carried over to my current config.

When doing "make menuconfig" with this generated config I could see that 
all 3 necessary options are selected:

 Support for PMU  based PowerMacs               CONFIG_ADB_PMU         
  Support for the Power/iBook front LED		CONFIG_ADB_PMU_LED
    Use front LED as IDE LED by default		CONFIG_ADB_PMU_LED_IDE 

And CONFIG_ADB_PMU_LED_IDE selects CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK, which in 
turn depends on CONFIG_IDE_GD_ATA - but in "make menuconfig" I could still
*unselect* CONFIG_IDE (since I'm using CONFIG_PATA_MACIO) and the 3 
options above were still available. I guess "make oldconfig" noticed that 
and hence printed the warning above.

The following patch causes ADB_PMU_LED to depend on IDE_GD_ATA, so that 
the options above are only available when IDE_GD_ATA is actually selected 
and thus eliminates the warning.

Being a kbuild n00b, I don't know if this is the correct approach though.

After looking through the archives I found that this has been reported by 
Geert back in 2012 already: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/13/556

Thanks,
Christian.
