The USS720 parport driver source code is in drivers/usb/misc/, the corresponding config is defined in drivers/usb/Kconfig. Some digging in the kernel's history revealed no good reason why it needs to be defined in USB's top-level Kconfig file, and why the config for the USS720 parport driver should be the first in the list of USB port drivers, while all other configs for drivers in drivers/usb/misc are in the USB Miscellaneous driver configuration file. Most probably, it was simply considered a bit more special when the USB Miscellaneous driver configuration file (drivers/usb/misc/Config.in back then) was initially created, and this config simply survived to remain at the top-level USB Kconfig file with all further code/Kconfig transformations and additions later on. Users rarely notice this config being at this position, as CONFIG_PARPORT (Parallel port support) needs to be enabled and only few users enable that. Nowadays, this USB_USS720 driver is probably not that special that it needs to be listed as first item of the USB port drivers. Move the configuration of the USS720 parport driver to the top of the USB Miscellaneous drivers section, as the configurations does not have a lot of specific ordering USB Miscellaneous drivers. This way, the USS720 parport driver is moved to the comment "USB Miscellaneous drivers", fitting to the driver's source code location, but still is at the top of the list for those few acquainted users of Kconfig UIs that might be looking for the config that was once at the top of the list of the USB port drivers. Put this config definition to a more local place. No semantic change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
