Sorry about that, I was looking at other examples where this is done.
For ipvlan, CONFIG_IPVLAN depends on CONFIG_INET and CONFIG_INET6 and I
don't see any additional checks in the driver.
I am wondering if I should submit a patch that does the same for 
MPLS_ROUTING (I am trying to avoid that though).

+       depends on IPV6
         ---help---
          Add support for forwarding of mpls packets.


Or I will rework the original patch in a different way.
This was introduced by my below commit. Please revert the below commit 
if there is no easy way to make it work
with MPLS_ROUTING = 'y' and IPV6 = 'm'. I will resubmit the patch. Thanks.

     mpls: make RTA_OIF optional

     If user did not specify an oif, try and get it from the via address.
     If failed to get device, return with -ENODEV.
