Re: [PATCH] media: i2c: cvs: Do not hide the option in the ancillary menu

Confirmed on linux-ptl, as you asked. Config-only test, same scope as
yours - not booted with a kernel built this way.

Starting config: linux-ptl 7.2.3-arch1-1, the Panther Lake kernel Omarchy
ships, taken from /lib/modules/.../build/.config. It has
CONFIG_MEDIA_HIDE_ANCILLARY_SUBDRV=y, no CONFIG_EXPERT, and no
VIDEO_INTEL_CVS line at all.

Run on a vanilla v7.2.4 tree. linux-ptl does not touch the files involved:
drivers/media/{i2c,pci/intel,pci/intel/ipu6}/Kconfig,
drivers/staging/media/ipu7/Kconfig and drivers/media/i2c/cvs/Kconfig are
byte-identical to vanilla, as is every other Kconfig under drivers/media.

  before: make olddefconfig -> no VIDEO_INTEL_CVS line
  after:  make olddefconfig -> CONFIG_VIDEO_INTEL_CVS=m

Diffing the two generated configs shows exactly one changed line, the
added CONFIG_VIDEO_INTEL_CVS=m. Nothing else moves.

Worth noting for the stable case you mention: this is a distro kernel that
already carries IPU_BRIDGE=m and VIDEO_INTEL_IPU7=m, so it is precisely
the configuration whose bridge routes to a driver it cannot currently
build.
