Hi Geert,

Thank you for the patch!

MPTCP_IPV6 selects IPV6, thus enabling an optional feature the user may
not want to enable. Fix this by making MPTCP_IPV6 depend on IPV6, like
is done for all other IPv6 features.

Here again, the intension was to select IPv6 from MPTCP but I understand the issue: if we enable MPTCP, we will select IPV6 as well by default. Maybe not what we want on some embedded devices with very limited memory where IPV6 is already off. We should instead enable MPTCP_IPV6 only if IPV6=y. LGTM then!
